2. Information technology (IT) is the application
of computers and telecommunications
equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and
manipulate data.
3. Competitive strategy is when an organization acquires
or develops an attribute or combination of attributes
that allows it to outperform its competitors.
New technologies such as robotics and information
technology can provide competitive advantage
4 types of competitive strategies:
Cost leadership strategy
Differentiation strategy
Innovation strategy
Operational effectiveness strategy
4. As competitive environments are constantly changing
in the contemporary business world, managers are
devising various flexible approaches to respond to
such uncertainty and complexity. Deploying strategic
information systems is an important approach to
address such the challenges of flexibility in business
competitiveness.
5. During the 1980s and 1990s, we saw considerable financial
investment into business IT in search for “competitive
advantage” in various industrial markets.
There were many academic papers as well as consulting
reports studying the competitive benefits of IT in business
in order to persuade firms to invest in strategic information
systems.
Many business company sought to replicate the success
stories of IT enabled business strategy, such as United
Airlines, Thomson Holidays and all the other celebrated
cases that have entered the information systems
mythology.
6. The need for a link between information technology
(IT) use and business strategy in construction industry
has been identified and discussed over a number of
years
The rate of failure is particularly high in such
developing countries. This increased uncertainty
suggests the need for improved strategic planning and
management of information systems, and the need for
consideration of local socio-economic environments.
7. • Technological change and the drive towards sustainable and
low-carbon construction impacts on skills needs within the
industry. High level skills will be needed to drive the
development and use of innovative methods of building
and the uptake of new technologies and materials.
• Modern methods of construction (MMC) have the potential
to introduce greater efficiencies into the construction
process, chiefly through innovations in building design and
management – for example in adoption of Building
Information Modelling (BIM) – and in offsite
construction processes.
• This presents a major opportunity to build quicker, to a
higher quality, more sustainably, foster innovation and
compete on the global market.

AUTODESK was founded in 1982 by John Walker, a
coauthor of the first versions of AutoCAD, the company's
flagship computer-aided design (CAD) software. Its
AutoCAD and Revit software is primarily used by
architects, engineers, and structural designers to design,
draft, and model buildings and other structures.
Autodesk software has been used in many fields,
13. At its simplest level, BIM provides a common
environment for all information defining a building,
facility or asset together with its common parts and
activities. This including building shape, design and
construction time, costs, physical performance,
logistics and more.
14. Traditional building design was largely
two‐dimensional drawings (plans, elevations, sections,
etc).
Building information modelling extends this beyond
3‐D, augmenting the three primary spatial
dimensions (width, height and depth – X, Y and Z)
with time as the fourth dimension and cost as the
fifth

18. STAAD or (STAAD.Pro) is a structural analysis and design
computer program originally developed by Research
Engineers International in Yorba Linda, CA. In late 2005,
Research Engineer International was bought
by
The commercial version STAAD. Pro is one of the most
widely used structural analysis and design software. It
supports several steel, concrete and timber design codes.
It can make use of various forms of analysis from the
traditional 1st order static analysis, 2nd order p-
delta analysis, geometric non linear analysis or
a buckling analysis. It can also make use of various forms of
dynamic analysis from modal extraction to time history
and response spectrum analysis.

computer hardware and software.
However, the industry does not yet have sufficient adequate and
trained personnel to fully exploit the advantage of the new
technology.
The survey indicates that only 15% of organizations who posses a
high level of computer competencies.
General administration works have been mostly computerized.
Drawings, scheduling, book keeping, costing, invoicing and
project management tasks are well computerized.
Tender preparation and engineering analysis are partly manual
and partly computerized.
Economic and risk analysis which is mostly used in the business
planning process is largely untouched by information
technology.

36. Modular offsite assembly is proven to:
Reduce costs by up to 30 per cent
Cut materials wastage to virtually zero
Deliver pre-tested, proven solutions to site on time -
every time.
37. Greater level of Planning, organising and scheduling.
Activities and interaction between the project team
and their supply chain; ranging from design,
manufacture, logistics and onsite assembly.
Hence requires project management, design and IT
skills.
38. Future jobs and skills
• Multi-skilling and greater flexibility within
job roles is likely for onsite assembly.
• Offsite could result in multi-skilling becoming
more ‘mainstream’, with smaller teams being required to assemble
components onsite, needing to work more closely together.
• Occupations will be expected to work more collaboratively, rather than in silos,
requiring a clearer knowledge and understanding of other job roles and how they
contribute to the holistic offsite project.
• Roles may become more interlinked particularly at managerial and professional
levels, for example, a technical sales role will require an overlap between
commercial and technical skills.

“It is not really about new job roles, as it’s merely a transfer of skills from onsite to offsite.
This will require people with a very good understanding of how systems are put together onsite”
(Technology developer)
39. Future jobs and skills

“Offsite makes it more important to consider how work
is planned, designed and scheduled. If managers
have qualified with high level current qualifications but
their expertise is traditionally onsite then it could be
very difficult to move to offsite.
It’s not necessarily the technical skills that are different
but more the softer skills including planning,
sequencing and link between design and build”
