The workshop theme is “Improving the construction management of projects through IT adoption”. This theme acknowledges the many technological advancements in Construction IT that have been accomplished in the last two decades and that have been presented at many prior W78 workshops. It recognizes sustained adoption and implementation of IT-based work processes as a major current challenge and opportunity. Researchers, academicians and practitioners in the Built Environment are invited to submit papers on how to encourage, foster, and promote research and development in the application of integrated IT throughout the life-cycle of the design, construction and occupancy of buildings and related facilities. The abstracts and papers will be reviewed by the international scientific W78 workshop committee.
