Information technology in the development of the Polish construction industry

Abstract The utilization of Construction Management (CM) tools and Information Technology (IT) is the object of the paper. A review of the problems of usefulness of IT solutions on offer in Polish construction sector is presented. Generally, changes in approach to information technology, diversification and variety of its software, prosperity in construction industry and its solutions are the main motif of this paper. A significant discrepancy in the assessment of attractiveness and usefulness of those methods by businessmen and academics has been pointed out. Relationships between prosperity in construction market and usage of new planning methods, decision making, and IT systems are discussed. Results of studies are negative. The reasons for such a state of things have been presented. The research was based on questionnaires and interviews. Regression and correlation were used for the analysis. Besides, an attempt to describe the phenomenon of saturation of Polish construction sector with IT tools has b...
