Abstract
This paper examines the potential use of the Advanced Computer based Management Systems (ACMS) to manage remote construction projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It discusses two case studies; the first is concerning a public services company whereas the other is about mega construction companies. Using observation, questionnaires and interviews, the study found significant barriers to the utilization of ACMS and these are ranged according to their significance and the paper recommends proper solutions that facilitate the use of ACMS by companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
