Abstract:

The paper presents a review of problems of usefulness of IT solutions on offer in construction sector. Universal development trends in IT are compared with conditions and capabilities of construction market in Poland. Shortcomings of proposed IT solutions for construction industry, as well as conditions for IT implementation are presented. Relationships between prosperity in construction market and usage of new planning methods, decision making, and IT systems are not very optimistic. The reasons for such a state of things have been indicated. Competition in the market does not result in increased demand for IT tools. Current problems experienced by builders and real estate developers have been indicated. The discussion of those problems may be addressed to potential IT suppliers. The phenomenon of saturation of construction sector with IT tools has been highlighted.

Keywords: Evolution of IT, saturation in the IT tools, construction management
