建筑用户圆桌会议（Curt）年轻专业人士2011年调查施工业主，承包商，设计师和用户在技术和专业发展的主题上。下面讨论了这些调查结果的快照。
Moore’s Law describes, in general, the effect by which our technological capacity doubles every two years. We asked, what is the most important technology tool in your company? The results:
•23％的电子邮件
• 22% Database Software such as Microsoft Excel or Access
•18％CM或调度软件
•16％BIM / CAD
• 12% Other (miscellaneous)
•7％智能手机
• 2% Tablet Devices such as iPad
Across all age groups, Email and Excel were hands down considered the most important technology. 31-40 year olds were mostly dependent upon Email (33%) with 41-50 year olds the least (16%). Both Email and Microsoft Excel have been main stream since about 1995 – the last time the Buffalo Bills made it to the Super Bowl. While only 2% of those surveyed view tablets like iPads as the most important technology available, 59% view these devices as valuable tools for the construction industry and not just toys [7% view tablets as toys, while 35% are unsure]. Baby Boomers (over 51) are the most optimistic (63%) about the value of iPads or other tablets in industry, while Millennials (under 30) are most skeptical with 12% reporting their perception of these devices as a less valuable toy.
调查的60％的千禧年报告说，没有工具可用于衡量其项目的质量或可用的工具，但它没有用。同样，50％的千禧一代报告说，没有任何工具可以在其项目中跟踪安全性或工具可用，但它没有用。
How much time should young people be spending at their desk reading and responding to emails? How much time should they be spending out in the field developing fundamental concepts of how to build? Of those surveyed, 38% of Millennials spend 2-4hours every day answering emails. 44%% spend either zero or only 0-2hrs in the field (away from their desk) each day.
电子邮件真的是您公司最重要的技术吗？Tech Company ATOS不这么认为，最近在ABC新闻报告了“禁止雇员雇员的”零电子邮件“政策，报告ABC新闻[S.Kim 11/29/11]。Atos拥有74,000名员工！
