With nearly a billion people online and more connecting every month,the Internet is changing the way we do business. As with any new application in an age of rapid technological change, people and companies are embracing the possibilities in different ways and to different timetables.

Some construction companies are confidently using the Internet as an efficient and effective business too while others are less comfortable with the concept of e-business - the term itself is an example of the jargon which can act as a deterrent for the many individuals and organisations not yet immersed in this new technology.

There is no doubt that e-business presents some tremendous opportunities for the construction industry. It can, potentially, reduce your costs and increase efficiency as well as improve relationships with clients.

It is,therefore,important that these opportunities should be accessible to as many businesses as possible. It is with this aim in mind that the Construction Confederation has drawn up this brief beginners’guide to e-business.
