The Internet is revolutionizing the construction industry the same way power tools did after the turn of the 20th century. With solutions available today that incorporate the power of the PC and the World Wide Web, construction program management can be accomplished quickly and easily, helping owners complete large-scale programs on time and within budget.

Within program management, construction owners may have to monitor and track myriad sets of interrelated cost and schedule issues over the course of several simultaneous, complex projects that comprise the overall program. Overseeing a construction program of this scope means keeping track of innumerable documents such as drawings, requests for information, field orders and directives, meeting minutes, submittals and general correspondence, that can affect the progress and final outcome of the program. Such documents must be kept in order and close at hand to be of use to the owners and their representatives. This is where computers and the Internet have become invaluable tools for the construction industry.
