Building Centre Trust Case Study
Abstract
Although it has been proven in other industries, document management technology has yet to become established in the construction industry. This case study describes how a proprietary document management system, called an Issue Management System (IM) specifically designed for the construction industry, was introduced - at the client's request - during construction of the first building on a new business park. This medium-sized project proved a good test bed for the IM system, particularly since it allowed easy comparison with existing paper-based practices and procedures. The case study highlights the management issues that should be addressed to fully realise the long-term benefits of IM, particularly the need to introduce the system into a project team at the earliest possible stage. The value of such experience has become apparent as the technology has been employed in further phases of the same development.
