Advanced Construction Technology

The first focus of Advanced Construction Technology is the integration and automation of project information and the integration of metrology data from the construction site into project information management systems.

The construction Industry Institute (CII), an organization with more than 100 members representing the Nation's leading owners, contractors, and suppliers of constructed facilities, has made the development of Fully Integrated and Automated Project Processes, FIAPP, a top priority. However, the construction industry faces special challenges in reaping the full benefits of the information technology revolution that has brought and continues to bring rich rewards to many other industries. These challenges include low R&D investment, the fragmentation of the industry, and the strong project-oriented nature of its processes.
