Digital Construction Engineering - Improving Project Performance

The Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector often encounters difficulties in attaining satisfactory project performance. Hence this book discusses an investigation as to how proactive behaviour impacts on the progress of construction projects an investigation into how team collaboration relates to proactive behaviour and an investigation into how team collaboration and integrated collaborative technologies can support proactive behaviour. Moreover it has been proved that in order to achieve a successful outcome a project requires stakeholders to learn how to collaborate with the support of integrated collaborative technologies. Throughout this ‘iterative process’ construction project managers can enhance their proactive behaviour at an individual level and thus can enhance their ability to pre-identify construction related problems. Arguably this behavioural change will impact positively on project performance indicators.
