This survey asks about issues affecting the selection and deployment of document management systems (DMS) on construction projects. This is part of our ongoing research on software systems for construction projects. This survey will take approximately ten minutes to complete. DMS systems are used for managing the filing and retrieval of project documents, typically the project’s drawings and reports. DMS systems may also include features for scheduling document production, reviews and approvals, change control and document distribution. Some DMS systems were not intended for the construction industry and may be unsuitable for construction projects. Some projects do not implement DMS systems due to poor experience on previous projects or the difficulty of selecting and deploying a system. To take the survey you need to be familiar with the selection and deployment of a document management system on at least one construction project. You can answer as many or as few questions as you like. By answering more questions and providing more detailed responses, you will greatly assist our research effort. Your participation will help improve the industry's best practices and will help future projects. In recognition of your participation we offer you a summary of the survey results. If you would like a copy, please enter your name and email address at the end of the survey.
