“…However, not enough attention has been paid towards managing tacit knowledge. [6] [7] Management of tacit knowledge is of utmost importance to construction industry due to the fragmented nature of the industry and also due to the fact that each construction project is unique and generates a significant amount of knowledge during its execution. Also, as a result of the dynamic nature of construction project, new challenges are faced every day for which solutions are devised by the project team where possible.…”

“…Many existing studies have explored how ITs can facilitate knowledge retrieval, and the most common retrieval scheme includes keywords (Lin et al, 2006), ontologies (Park et al, 2013a) and data/text mining (Lee et al, 2008;Ur-Rahman and Harding, 2012). Construction projects require collaboration between different disciplinary teams.…”

“…Web-based technologies are also widely used for knowledge sharing. For example, Lin et al (2006) integrated a web tool with knowledge map to facilitate knowledge sharing in construction. In addition, Le et al (2014) developed a social network-based KM system to support the sharing of health and safety-related knowledge.…”

Knowledge is the resource that contributes the most to an organisation's competitiveness. Construction projects usually introduce project teams from different disciplines. Hence, knowledge in projects is complex and difficult to manage. To efficiently manage knowledge in projects, various strategies and tools have been applied over the years to support knowledge management (KM).Building information modelling (BIM) is a technology that has recently gained a lot of attention in the construction industry. The main feature of BIM is object-oriented and parametric modelling with the functions of dynamic visualisation, life cycle simulation, early analysis, coordination and collaborative working. Many studies have explored the functions of BIM mainly at the information level. However, only a few studies have considered the management of knowledge in a BIM environment. To fill this knowledge gap, this study explored the potential and expectation of a BIM-based system for early collaboration among contractor, facility management (FM) and design teams in the design stage. This study chose semi-structured interview as the main method to collect qualitative information. A total of 30 experts working in the construction industry were interviewed. On the basis of the analysis results of the collected information, a discussion was presented on how BIM can facilitate KM activities and relieve KM challenges. Therefore, the discussion focused on the requirements and expectations of the integrated KM system in a BIM environment that can facilitate the early involvement of construction contractors and the FM team into the design stage. This study also provides a new research direction for the transformation of research focus from BIM to building knowledge modelling. This paper is the revised version of the paper that has

“…Learning in the construction domain is the refinement of culture that support and encourage an acquaintance management process and for learning to exist there is a support of technical advancement (Lin et al, 2006). Learning is a degree of prospect, assortment, gratification and inspiration for development in the organization (Leidner & Kayworth, 2006).…”

One of the key global pressures of knowledge management practice is knowledge acquisition, creation, sharing, storing and dissemination. The global business is reflecting a throng of culture, leadership and cultural upbringings which warrant bringing into line consistent alterations in management of knowledge because of diversity of workforce in construction organization. Theoretically, the study predicts the empirical role of culture (managerial learning and trust) with reference to knowledge management process. This paper presents a knowledge management (KM) model that comprises a set of KM hypothesis model and measurement models for understanding and applying these KM models to boost the application of KM in the construction organization. 76 private construction organization was investigated with 323 questionnaire surveys. A hypothesized model of KM process and culture was tested using structural equation modelling approach and a proposed model was therefore developed. Likewise, all fit indices for KM process and factor loadings shows the significant impact of culture on KM process, leading to a thrifty model achievement. The study shows that culture demonstrated 0.73 significant influence on the knowledge management process. The analysis revealed that managerial learning and trust were key factors that impact positively on KM process within the construction organization under investigation.
