Instead, they prefer to interact with a very simple mechanism that can help them to improve their business. It has been reported that the most frequently identified issue in construction industry is related to collaboration and disintegration of different participants. The aim of this study is to identify affordable current market’s software for collaborative team working, document management, and on-site information management in small- and medium-sized construction companies (SMCCs). Such software should be an affordable tool for collaboration, on-site information management, and document management in SMEs. Based on the results of interviews with 12 IT professionals, the selected software was ‘DropBox’. Simplicity, functionality, security, and affordability are the main features of this software.
