Information Technology
for Construction
CIB W78 Objectives
 foster, encourage and promote R&D in the
application of integrated IT throughout the
life-cycle of the design, construction and
occupancy of buildings and related facilities
 encourage use of IT in Construction through
demonstrating capabilities developed in
collaborative research projects
 organise international cooperation in such
activities and to promote the communication
of these activities and their results
