Abstract
Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), and Computer Aided Construction Management (CACM) are playing increasingly important roles in today’s Construction Industry. Their rapid technological changes are dramatically affecting th
Key Findings
There needs to be great inter-compatibility between engineering software to avoid losing some of the benefits of the tools when companies share information. The lack of standardization and software compatibility are major obstacles to realizing the total benefit of a computerized construction industry. (SD-50, p. 91)
