  • Abstract:
    Portable datafile technologies such as high density bar coding and electronic tagging now permit very high information storage capacities. Aside from anecdotal evidence, there are few examples of these technologies being used within construction. The potential advantages of using portable datafiles are explored for storing and transmitting information relating to construction materials and components. A structured methodology aids the definition of information that could be encoded within labels or tags and the stages within the supply chain where such a device would most fruitfully be employed. A case study demonstrates both the operational and financial feasibility of using portable datafiles within the scenario of a live project. Recommendations are made for the development of a construction industry standard for portable datafiles as part of a framework to promote more widespread deployment of the technologies.
