This slide presentation outlines information on the New York City Department of Environmental Protection's (NYCDEP) use of web-based software for managing construction information. The issues NYCDEP was facing included: compressed construction schedules; reduced CM budgets; mega projects receiving/generating over 20,000 pages of documentation per month; new, more diverse types of information required (digital photographs, electronic submittals etc); and, no established standards for collecting and reporting information. The web-based construction management program offers to: centralize access to construction project information; provide a simple platform for communication; standardize business processes; and, provide a method to document all information throughout the project.
