The eLSEwise vision, development routes and recommendations Available to Purchase

eLSEwise is the acronym of ESPRIT project 20876 which investigated the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) needs of Large Scale Engineering (LSE) construction over the next 10 years. eLSEwise investigated the business needs related to market and client demands for change in the future delivery processes of LSE construction projects and how the constructors perceive their roles changing in response. It also undertook a state‐of‐the‐art review of the existing and emergent technologies. From these investigations eLSEwise then postulated a vision how LSE construction projects may be delivered in the future, fully utilizing the benefits of emergent technology to satisfy the business needs. The project also considered how companies may progress from their present condition towards this future view, leading to basic development strategy. This paper presents the eLSEwise views of such a future. These findings are presented in three parts: the eLSEwise vision, development routes and recommendations.
