Construction Project Websites: Design and Implementation

摘要

A construction project team can consist of many contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, clients and consultants. The management of information for such a project team can be difficult, requiring the rapid transfer of a great deal of project information on a timely basis. The arrival of the Internet began improving the exchange of project data among team members. Now, the latest Internet advance in construction project data dissemination is the project website (PWS). The PWS works as an interactive repository on the Internet of all project-specific data and messages, with variable levels of access by members of the project team and the public. This article describes the functionality of a project website and provides a guide for its design and implementation for the construction industry.
