Description: An effort is underway to develop a method for automated data collection on construction sites. This research is the first step in that effort, and was undertaken to determine the most frequently adopted project management processes, techniques and software in the construction industry, and to identify and rank the information critical for proper project control. To facilitate the research, data have been collected using two questionnaires from the contractors and owners/consultants working in the industry. The difficulty in collecting data in the industry was evidenced by the adequate but disappointing survey response rate.Associations among these data were determined using statistical analyses of correlation for interval variables and chi-square for nominal variables. The results provided insight to the current state in the industry with respect to project control, the different perspectives of the contractor and the and emphasized owner/consultant.
