- Abstract
- In 1987, the Construction Industry Institute formed the Technology Survey Task Force. The purpose of the task force was to examine the R&D work that could impact productivity in a positive way, and to make such R&D efforts more broadly known. This publication is a report on the task force efforts. The task force established three objectives for their scope of work: (1) identify innovations and emerging technologies, concentrating on aspects of construction that could contribute to the improvement of productivity; (2) develop computer software to store information on construction technologies and provide methods for searching electronic databases for such technologies; and (3) promote the establishment of a capability for the continued identification of emerging technologies and the maintenance of the data and software system.
