on the Internet educating themselves and promoting their vocational abilities, as well as interacting and communicating with others on the different social media sites inside and outside Palestine (Kukalil, 2012). Although the cost factor and a lack of awareness are the most important factors influencing the decision to build green home also noted that studies have indicated previously, as well as the importance of information technology through mobile application of speed in the dissemination and exchange of information between people and the research about applications for cost estimating for green buildings is very little so in this section we focus on the previous studies about using mobile IT construction and the role of IT to promote green building to help us develop mobile application prototype for promoting green in Palestine and its function will be: Cost estimation for greening and traditional construction for residential buildings projects. Guide line and help tool for Palestinian to make the concept of green construction understandable. 1.6.1 Mobile IT Used in Construction Researching the use of mobile IT in construction began in earnest in the mid-nineties, spurred on by the introduction of the Apple Newton Message Pad in 1993. The first Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) (Bowden et al. 2005a). Kimoto and Endo reported a development of mobile computing system with personal digital assistants (PDA) for construction managers on construction sites. Experts researched the mobile IT application in the construction industry (Kim et al. 2011; Sutton 2010). Garrett and Sunkpho pay close attention to issues in delivering IT systems in the field, including understanding of field worker’s context, functionality, mobile computing hardware, interface, and software and field evaluation of system with users (Garett and Sunkpho 2000). By case study, Bowden, Dorr, Thorpe e.g. found the utilization of mobile technologies by point-of-activity workers in construction increases the efficiency of the process resulting in improved data collection and hence a rapid return on investment (Bowden et al. 2005b). Yuan Chen and John M. Kamara introduced a framework for the implementation of mobile computing on construction sites (Chen and Kamara 2008). They admit that the developed framework has its own limitations since it is only concerned with the limited factors that impact on the implementation of mobile computing (Chen and Kamara 2011). Nourbakhsh presents the results of usability testing of a mobile application prototype for improving information management in construction projects (Nourbakhsh et al. 2012).
