BUILDING INFORMATICS: REVIEW OF SELECTED INFORMATICS PLATFORM AND VALIDATING SYSTEMS FOR INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

Automation has introduced new dimension to the advent of project and construction execution in construction field. Virtually all aspect of construction is being innovated with cutting edge technology. In this study cutting edge technologies were evaluated and their various validation platforms were evaluated. The following objectives were set and achieved in this study: Establishing different tests that could be carried out to ascertain functionality of an informatics platform, review of features present in available informatics platforms, exploratory study of platform validity system through functionality tests and developing a semantic icon functionality test. Ten (10) informatics platforms were selected for case study, while 40 structured questionnaires was used to collate respondents data as related to on the critical factors that influences the effective use of system usability test on ICT Informatics platform and parameters for newly generated Icon functionality rating scale(IRS). A new test protocol was designed that could be used for carrying out Icon functionality rating evaluation tagged”IRS”.
