Abstract
An increasingly significant proportion of the construction industry has come to adopt collaboration technologies in recent years. Nevertheless, the technology is still not being used by the entire industry on every project to the full capacity. There remains a significant number of organisations that would benefit from using such technology but are reluctant to employ it. As it is often the case with newer technology, a major barrier relates to the doubts that many potential users have regarding the practical usefulness of the technology. These people may be highly skeptical about what such technology could do for them, what exactly the benefits will be and whether the benefits can be quantified. This report attempts to find the reasons for resistance to use collaboration technology on an individual level as well on the industry level in general, and suggest possible ways to overcome the resistance, thus making benefits of successfully implemented collaboration technology available to every construction project.
