Abstract

The construction industry has continuously tries to improve the productivity of construction projects through Information Technologies (IT). It is not easy for the subcontractor to apply IT towards their projects due to the smaller scale of operations and the problem of the cost of equipment, programmer, and operator to introduce IT. To overcome the high investment risk we need a device. This paper presents IT outsourcing for subcontractors that effectively accommodates the demand of project information management. The purpose is the conceptual design of an Application Service Provider (ASP) based project management system. This paper offers the conceptual proposal for the mutual communication and information collection between the construction industry subjects through collaboration and the coordination.
