Changes brought about from advances in information and communication technology for the architecture, engineering, and construction industries (construction ICT) are not purely technical, but must be accompanied by changes to the management processes. Elsewhere, we have discussed a framework for project information management in construction. This paper addresses changes to the practice of project management as a whole. Broadly, it suggests a unified approach to project management that involves defining a set of widely-applicable common views of the project information, explicitly defining the inter-relationships between the information in these different views, and modifying project management tools and procedures to work with these integrated views.
