a mobile element encompasses a communication technology and the mobile element spanningbetween various locations and mobilities on site, the site management office, one or moreheadquarters of construction firms and the mobile space of in between these multiple locations. Eventhe cases demonstrated a fit with the mobile technology, spanning all the types of mobility. Themobile technology sits well with the craftsmen‟s work procedures. This not only expands the systemcoverage from local mobility to micro mobility, but of the entire non space. Barriers includeManagement strategy in the SMEs as crucial, with CEGs non choice of the Etjek system underliningthis. Employees were in all case less of a barrier than expected. Finally large contractors inconstruction projects do not push the small contractors. Collaboration between the small contractorsand the IT-suppliers had less emphasis than expected. IT-suppliers seem to play a relatively passiverole in the case enterprises. The contractors are largely satisfied with a slow tempo of innovation. Inthat sense the case constellations are symbiotic. Experiments with organization and informationsystems with mobile elements are important to remove the barriers.ReferencesB3D (2006) IT-undersøgelse i byggeriet. Det digitale byggeri.
