However, in practice, the degree of success achieved through the application of concurrent engineering varies considerably. Organizational factors, especially with respect to information management methods and techniques coupled with different levels of training and experience of personnel, place considerab...

A Modularised Integrated Computer Environment for the Construction Industry: Space

This paper outlines an overview of the SPACE project. SPACE (Simultaneous Prototyping for an Integrated Construction Environment) is a rapid prototyping environment which supports a subset of a construction project life cycle. Its main objective is to develop a future intelligent integrated design and construction system for the civil and building domain through which a number of solutions can ...
