Abstract
If computers are to be of any use to quantity surveyors and the construction industry as a whole, programs must be written with the needs of the user in mind. The information needs of the industry must therefore be examined to establish the areas where computers would be most useful. In order to assess this usefulness the complexity of communications within the industry must be untangled. By this means it is possible to define the problems that might be satisfactorily solved by computer usage.
