The way briefing is prepared in conjunction with building projects is crucial to the project's adherence to the client's intentions. It is through the brief that the values expected are documented and transferred. However, international research has for a long time pointed out the briefing stage as a constantly recurring problem area for the construction sector.

The aim of this research is to achieve a more value-driven building process by the use of ICT. The objective of this study is to improve the briefing phase using ICT.

To reach this objective the following questions will be addressed:Q1: What values are defined in the briefing process?Q2: What values were created by the use of ICT?Q3: How could ICT be developed to further support a value-driven briefing process?

To answer these questions three case studies were used. One of the case studies concerning a building for culture and music is presented here. The ICT tool Program of Technical Standard (PTS 2012) was used to support the briefing process in the building project studied. In the case study three questions were answered:

What functionalities in PTS support the briefing process?How did the use of PTS influence the process? What values were created by the use of PTS?

The result of the studies shows that using ICT to support the briefing process has many valuable advantages. The use of ICT-support in the briefing process makes the process more efficient. PTS facilitates information transfer and consistency of standard.
