The document discusses emerging trends in construction management including sustainability (LEED), 3D/4D/5D modeling (BIM), integrated project delivery (IPD), and lean construction. It suggests using technologies like cloud computing, web conferencing, PDF markup tools, and mobile devices to help address these trends through collaboration, education, waste reduction, and improved planning. Specific applications mentioned include using these technologies for LEED certification, BIM training and collaboration, enabling more efficient IPD project delivery, and creating higher quality plans.
