Abstract: The use of Information and Communication Technology(ICT)has improved the efficiency of informa-tion management in the construction industry and brought productivity benefits to the construction process. Current ICT systems have been extended to the site office, but ICT support on actual work sites still need further development to benefit from advances in ICT. The emergence of Mobile Computing(MC)has the potential to improve on -site infor-mation management and enhance information flow throughout the site. This paper aims to provide insight into the area of mobile computing in construction, and help construction personnel to understand and accept these new technolo-gies. This paper introduces the concept of mobile computing and discusses the use of mobile computing on construc-tion sites. It then analyses the potential, advantages and challenges in using mobile computing on construction sites. Finally, this paper provides a vision for the future research of using mobile computing in construction.
