Abstract
An exhaustive IT-survey has been made in the Danish
construction industry in 1995. The outcome of this survey is
outlined for a selected number of issues, such as number and
types of CAD-systems, data base systems, networking etc.
The survey shows that the use of IT is massive. A detailed
investigation in relation to AI-based systems is presented.
This indicates that AI-based systems/approaches have not yet
penetrated in the Danish construction industry.
Determinants relevant to technology penetration are
described, and the immediate potential for AI-penetration is
discussed and compared with the actual status. Finally, we
conclude that there is a severe lack of awareness of AI-systems
in the building sector.
