In addition, the modelingprogram SketchUp was selected as a representative modeling application with a low level ofdifficulty in which user interface does not vary between computing platforms or operatingsystems. The user interface for SketchUp is very consistent between the Windows operatingsystem and the Apple Mac OS X operating system used in the study.

The results of interview investigated required information that Page 23.197.10was necessary for converting paper based system to the web-based. Based on interview results, i-Phone as the hardware and Google Drive as software were selected.RecommendationsThe next step will be creating the digital forms in Google Drive and testing in a real environmentto identify weaknesses and enablers.Furthermore, in the next studies, other applications of Google Drive can be considered inimproving management information system in construction.AcknowledgementThe author of
