Interest in construction industry (CI) innovation, particularly in information communication tech... more Interest in construction industry (CI) innovation, particularly in information communication technology (ICT), has been steadily growing with the advent and widespread use of the Internet. However, despite its potential for delivering competitive advantage, many companies have failed to effectively realise promised benefits from ICT due to misunderstanding the relationship between factors and processes influencing ICT implementation. Results from recent in-depth qualitative ICT implementation research on three construction contractors provides useful insights and practical experience of lessons learned that can be more broadly disseminated. These research results provide an ICT innovation diffusion organisational level framework with insights about how it may be applied to improve ICT adoption at different implementation stages for the CI. They suggest that strategic ICT implementation planning needs to consider issues of critical management support, technical support, supportive workplace environment and ICT users' individual-characteristics so that the framework processes offered can be effectively applied.

The results help to better explain human related factors in particular in terms of the broader and emerging literature of organizational learning and innovation adoption with a clear focus on how the people-side of ICT diffusion and adoption is undertaken. ...

Because people are limited in what they can detect visually, inspectors are not able to quantify the value of a defect and cannot perform an inspection that includes all possible defects. Subjective evaluations depend on individual experience and are unreliable because they do not have objective standards. Therefore, this paper presents an innovative system of defect detection and quantification. The system is able to augment subjective visual quality inspections in architectural work by specifying defect positions and quantifying defect values. This method uses defect feature analysis and quantifies the defect value from digital images using a digital image processing technique. The inspection of tiling work was chosen as a case study for developing a prototype of the system. This paper describes the conceptual framework of the proposed ...
