摘要

The computer is a system used to store and manages information and this have found significant application in the Construction Industry. Bowden and Thorpe [7] state that 65% of contractor's rework is attributed to insufficient, inappropriate, and conflicting information on construction site, in addition, sometimes late information. Communication through the internet is quick and can mitigate the issue of time delay. This is irrespective of location. There are varying types that are suitable for local and remote areas in cases of construction in these types of places. Similarly, the information that is communicated is always accurate with the exception that the information captured is incorrect. An advantage that information communication technology (ICT) has is information can be retrieved anytime as they are stored on the system.
