How can the construction industry fully integrate computer technology? This paper presents the Condor business process re-engineering model, a generic framework designed to facilitate the implementation of information technology systems in construction companies. The model, developed within the European ESPRIT program-funded Condor project, addresses the critical need for improved working practices and technical infrastructure in the construction sector, and is especially relevant in the domain of **engineering**. The Condor project involved a partnership between English, French, and Swedish construction firms and aimed to define the processes, techniques, tools, and technical infrastructure required for large-scale computer integration. The model emphasizes the importance of meeting user and organizational requirements alongside technical considerations during the selection, design, and implementation of new information technology systems. Ultimately, the Condor model provides a valuable tool for construction companies seeking to modernize their operations and embrace computer-integrated practices. By offering a structured approach to business process re-engineering, it contributes to the construction industry's progress toward increased efficiency and technological advancement, as well as more effective **management** and operational methods.
