This paper illustrates how the concept of mobility can be used to
consider how contextual factors shape user requirements for
mobile ICT. The spatial, temporal and contextual mobility of
construction professionals is described based on fieldwork
conducted within the UK. A distinction between the mobility of
workers when they are operating remotely within a geographically
distributed team and when they are working cooperatively with
others co-located on site is reported. The implications of this
finding are discussed in relation to the mobile ICT needs of
construction professionals.
