Abstract

Construction organizations have increasingly realized the importance of knowledge management (KM). They have also increasingly applied various tools and strategies to manage their knowledge. Due to the temporary nature of construction projects, however, there continues to be certain barriers and challenges of KM that are hard to overcome. This article explores the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to achieve better KM in UK construction organizations. First of all, why and how BIM can facilitate KM in construction projects are identified from the literature review. Secondly, a questionnaire survey in quantitative measurement is used to investigate key aspects of KM that can be improved by using BIM. The results of quantitative data analysis are further discussed with the help of literature review. It is found in this article that BIM has the potential to support KM in construction projects. In particular, BIM contributes to proactive KM, lifecycle KM, and KM processes. The findings of this article provide researchers and practitioners with a better understanding of BIM-based KM.
