Abstract
This research was motivated by the desire to provide
consulting engineers, design build contractors, clients, and
academics with improved design methodology. It serves as a
link between the latest thinking on computer support
systems and an urgent industry problem. Specifically, the
project involves using the Internet and the WWW (World
Wide Web) to develop an interface to a system that assists in
the creation of design briefs. The design brief establishes
what advisors clients will need and anticipates functionality,
project costs, construction schedule, quality, etc. It also sets
the tone for communication among project participants.
