Strategic consideration and actions are crucial for organisations in the construction industry to
implement e-business successfully and have continuous improvement. However, only focusing on one concept is
not sufficient for construction companies to formulate their e-business strategy because of the fragmented needs
and requirements within the organisations. To address the industry’s specific needs and requirements, an ebusiness
strategy should include multiple elements rather than one element, and collaboration of partners
should lie at the heart of the e-business strategy. Also, the strategic approaches currently available for ebusiness
implementation are mainly ‘reactive’ and lack a long-term consideration or vision. To improve ebusiness
implementation, it is important for organisations in the industry to create a positive organisational
culture and consider both the emergent and long-term needs across organisation boundaries. This paper
presents a Strategic e-Business Framework for organisations in the construction industry. The Framework
provides a holistic approach for e-business strategy formulation and implementation. Organisations in the
industry can work out a comprehension business solution for their e-business implementation using the
Framework. The recommendations are also presented to illustrate how the Framework can benefit organisations
in the construction industry potentially
