- Abstract:
Better understanding of the components of construction technology and the ways in which they differ for different construction operations will support technological advancement and improve the competitiveness of the U.S. construction industry. This paper describes a classification system that includes the following components: material and equipment resources, construction‐applied resources, construction processes, and project requirements and constraints. The elements and the attributes of the classification provide a tool to measure technological change and analyze specific operations for potential improvement. The paper reviews the relevant background, develops the classification system, describes its use to define the technology for specific construction operations, and highlights conclusions regarding the components of construction technology and the potential for future use of the classification in both research and construction practice.
