Three major existing solutions are available. Due to it's specific nature (fragmented, low budget, many relationships), the building and construction industry isn't using any of these solutions.

The first conclusion is that the building and construction industry lags behind when compared with other industries. The second conclusion is that a simple, cheap electronic solution is needed. The third is that a mapping of languages and concepts onto each other is needed.
