"An Inquiry into the Current Practice of Building Product Data Handling by Different Stakeholders in Austria";
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 861 (2017), 547 - 555.

The timely availability and quality of building product information is critical prerequisite
for a successful building delivery process. However, little is known about the processes by which
stakeholders acquire and use such data. This contribution documents the results of recent relevant
surveys, addressing the building product data processing by planers, clients, and the industry. Web
questionnaires and interviews with opinion leaders were conducted. Altogether, over 100
participants provided pertinent insights regarding strengths and weaknesses of the current data
representation practices. A comparison of the obtained data with that of an earlier study allows for
the documentation of the evolutionary trends in web-based data provision. Most importantly, the
results facilitate the formulation of strategies for a more effective presentation and distribution of
building product data.
