At that time the 6 other previously established FAs were already completing their SRAs which were then consolidated into an overall ECTP SRA, issued in December 2005. PICT started to prepare its SRA in March 2006. This was done in parallel with contributing to a follow-up document of the ECTP SRA, the Implementation Action Plan (IAP). The IAP included suggestions from all FAs for inclusion of priority topics into research programs, especially intoFP7, and was released in June 2007.

This document is edited to be consistent with the other ECTP documents. the activities of PICT were supported by the Strat-CON project " Strategic Actions for Realising the Vision of ICT in Construction " (www.strat-We acknowledge the contributions of numerous experts who participated in workhops and sent suggestions for research topics.
