The construction industry is redefining effective partnering through the implementation of common information exchange standards - and no one can afford to be left behind.
In a text that is steered towards commercial objectives rather than towards technological discussion, this book sets out the commercial issues driving, or hampering, recent developments, aiming to dispel the many myths that generate excuses for inertia. Business managers will then be able to make informed decisions and achieve operational benefits.
