Abstract:

There has never been an industry-wide benchmarking study of the levels of technology used across the various life-cycles or phases of projects. The primary objective of this study was to measure the extent to which task integration and task automation (IA) technologies are being used in executing capital facility projects, including those used in facility operations and maintenance. The data obtained and analyzed in the study discussed here are project-specific. The data collection tool makes use of 68 common project work functions in assessing levels of technology usage. Work function technologies not related to capital facility projects are outside the scope of this study. The data collection tool was used to collect data on all types of projects in the Building, Industrial and Infrastructure sectors. Only low-volume home-building operations were deliberately neglected.
