Overview: The information intensive nature of construction projects requires project team members to have on-demand access to project information. However, existing mobile communication deployments in the construction industry rely on static modes of information delivery and do not take into account the worker's changing context and dynamic project conditions. This often results in a mismatch between what an application can offer and the actual (data) requirements of mobile workers. This paper explains how awareness of user context (such as user profile/role, preferences, task, location, existing project conditions, etc.) can enhance construction collaboration by providing a mechanism to deliver pertinent information.
