Abstract

Computer Integrated Construction can lead to great developments in construction productivity and quality. A key contribution is the adoption and application of consistent computerbased information systems. This paper examines an area of concern deriving from a consideration of the benefits and stages involved in developing a Computer-Based Information Systems Strategy Plan for construction project management: the ICON-Based Methodology. This is situated in context with Total Quality Management, the ISO 9000 family of standards and the ISO/CD 10006 document.
