“…Furthermore, from the late 1990s to early 2000s, research efforts were focused on sharing documents and data, as well as webbased information sharing using XML and EDI [9][10][11][12][13][14], while research from the late 2000s onwards focused on searching through accumulated information and the effective use of data [15][16][17].…”

Projects in the construction industry are becoming increasingly large and complex, with construction technologies, methods, and the like developing rapidly. Various different types of information are generated by construction projects. Especially, a construction phase requires the input of many resources and generates a diverse set of information. While a variety of IT techniques are being deployed for information management during the construction phase, measures to create databases of such information and to link these various different types of information together are still insufficient. As such, this study aims to suggest a construction information database system based on BIM technology to enable the comprehensive management of site information generated during the construction phase. is study analyzed the information generated from construction sites and proposed a categorization system for structuring the generated information, along with a database model for storing such structured information. rough such efforts, it was confirmed that such a database system can be used for accumulating and using construction information; it is believed that, in the future, the continual accumulation and management of construction information will allow for corporate-level accumulation of knowledge as opposed to the individual accumulation of know-how.

“…Existing studies have yet to intensively explore knowledge retrieval under the BIM environment. Park et al [28] and Ding et al [29] applied ontology-based knowledge representation to aid knowledge retrieval under the BIM environment. To implicitly or imprecisely retrieve knowledge, Gómez-Romero et al [30] combined fuzzy description logics with ontology in the BIM-based system to improve the knowledge retrieval results, in which the retrieval mechanism is not either "true or false" but relatively holds the truth.…”

The construction industry has increasingly realised the importance of knowledge. Accordingly, various strategies and tools have been applied over the years to support knowledge management (KM). In particular, building information modelling (BIM) is a technology that has recently emerged in the construction industry. BIM is an object-oriented and parametric-based tool with the features of digital visualisation, life cycle simulation, coordination and collaborative environment. Consequently, many studies have been conducted to explore these four aspects. However, existing studies on BIM-based management mainly focus on the information level. By contrast, only a few studies have explored KM under the BIM environment. Therefore, this study explores the potential and expectations of BIM-based KM for the early application of knowledge of construction and facilities management (FM) into the design stage. A total of 30 semi-structured interviews are conducted to collect qualitative information from the AEC industry. The existing KM practice is explored based on the analysis of the collected qualitative information. Thereafter, a discussion is presented on how the BIM-based KM can be used to mitigate the current KM challenges. Lastly, this study presents the expectations on BIMbased KM for involving the knowledge of construction and FM into the design phase. Overall, this study provides new insights into the transformation of research focus from BIM-based information management to BIM-based KM.

“…For example, Park et al (2013b) and Ding et al (2016) applied ontologies to help represent knowledge, by which the knowledge is easily retrieved under the BIM environment. To facilitate the knowledge that can be retrieved by people who are not familiar with a specific knowledge domain, Gómez-Romero et al (2015) combined fuzzy description logics with ontology in the BIM-based system to improve the knowledge retrieval results, in which the retrieval mechanism is not either 'true or false' but relatively holds the truth.…”

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
