Project extranets (a term often used synonymously with ‘construction collaboration technologies’) are not usually something you see discussed in your average local evening newspaper in the UK. However, I see that a Davis Langdon employee, Simon Burke, has just won a special award for his masters dissertation on the subject of extranets – an achievement reported in the Peterborough Evening Telegraph earlier this month. Well done, Simon.
(I spoke to Simon a couple of times during the preparation of his paper, and BIW [my employer] has been working with Davis Langdon on a number of projects – indeed, we recently completed a case study with them regarding use of BIW to manage NEC2 contract processes on a scheme in Cambridge.)
