Construction projects can be challenging enough in themselves were it not for thetremendous amount of documentation required from meetings, payment estimates,requests for information, change orders, etc. Much of this documentation, usuallyin the form of printed or photocopied material, is disseminated followingmeetings. Unfortunately, only a small amount of this information is actuallyread. More often, it is simply filed away until, of course, it's needed. Projectweb sites offer an efficient way to make information available to any authorizedmember of the construction team including the owner, engineer, contractor, andsubcontractors. Selected portions of the project web site can even be madeavailable to the media and general public to keep them informed of progress aswell. Once put into service, these web sites can be very easy to maintain and caneasily be made secure allowing only authorized, read-only access tocorrespondence, contract document specifications and drawings, constructionphotos, meeting minutes, testing results, progress payments, change orderrequests and approvals, requests for information, etc. This paper presentsexamples of information that should be considered when designing a project website. Includes figures.
