  • Abstract:

    The evolution of the Saudi construction industry correlated with rapid growth in Saudi Arabian oil revenues. Construction companies of all sizes were established during this rapid growth. The extent of computer use in these companies has been surveyed using a structured questionnaire. This reveals that computers are not widely used among contractors. However, all large contractors, 62% of medium-sized contractors and 41% of small contractors use computers mainly for administrative operations, such as accounting and database management.
