ABSTRACT
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector is proverbially marked as traditional, not progressive oriented towards the new technology implementation. In order to determine the punctuality of the stated prejudice and evaluate the sector Information and Communication Technology (ICT) implementation, a unified European state-of-the-art analysis has been made. Before making any accuracy estimation or prediction, the state-of-the-art analysis is required. Several investigations referring to the ICT implementation in the AEC sector were carried out, but most of them were time and geographically limited. The need for online benchmarking service, designed for the ICT exploitation and awareness level in the European AEC sector has been clearly marked in previous projects industrial requirements initiatives. The Benchmarking service is available online, absolutely free of charge. All categories of enterprises in the AEC sector are covered with the unified questionnaire and everyone involved in the sector is welcome to participate in the enquiry. Its dynamic makes the service unique.
