Abstract

IT application in emerging countries faces many specific constraints, not only in infrastructure but also from cultural and economic differences. In Brazil, despite quite satisfactory IT technical education with qualified staff, we have encountered AEC professionals with insufficiently well-developed IT skills, except in CAD systems. This has contributed to a full range of potential IT uses not being considered by the large majority of companies. Most of these companies are small and medium-sized organizations, with limited budgets and technical capacity. The greater part of the market happens to be outside the regulatory context and so, they are not particularly concerned with quality and productivity. The construction sector scenario is therefore reflected in the IT companies, the majority of which are small companies developing customized proprietary systems, thus creating inter-operability difficulties. On the other hand, only a few large contractors have begun to use ERP systems, due to the financial investment and time required to implement them. Besides these barriers, some other factors are also pushing the envelope, requiring more intensive IT use. This is mainly as a response to the formal competitive market that requires quality systems and new trends in documentation and management. To overcome these difficulties some urgent actions have been listed: i.e. improvements in IT education for AEC professionals and cooperative development programs for IT and construction companies.
