Paving the Way for Better Construction Designs Aided by Information Technology Tools
Abstract
With the dawn of the industrial age, construction and manufacturing methods have witnessed revolutionary engineering practices and methods. None have been more significant than that of the influence that information technology has had on civil construction engineering as in many other engineering disciplines and spheres. In this chapter, the authors discuss how computer-aided design and drawing software, the internet, building information modelling, and 4D and 5D CAD/CAM systems have revolutionized the way construction engineers, designers, and architects work. They also discuss the various types of software available in the market, each with a specific goal and engineering purpose. They also offer brief comparisons on several types of design software so that readers can grasp quickly the salient features that each have to offer.
