  • Abstract:

    We introduce current thinking from the field of co-ordination economics and apply it to the co-ordination needs of construction firms working on a project. A view of construction from an economic lens provides a different view of construction from that normally taken by practitioners and researchers. Combined with cost time capacity models of construction firms, we are able to offer a new paradigm for co-ordination policy in construction. This new paradigm provides an economic basis for the development and adoption of information technology by construction firms.
