An expert network is a community of professionals in a specific field, united by an information system, in which different tasks are solved. One of the main tasks in expert networks is the selection of specialists with specified competencies for joint problem solving. The main characteristic of an expert network member is a set of competencies, which includes both functional aspects and personal qualities. For this reason, the procedure for selecting specialists and ranking them is critical. Such a procedure uses specialists’ competence assessments from the expert network. If these assessments are out of date, the project results can be unsuccessful. This article proposes an approach aimed at automating the assessment of the specialists’ competencies based on the projects results. This approach consists of a reference model and an algorithm of competence assessment change for human resources. The paper also includes an algorithm evaluation on generated data.

“…Consequently, considerable issues arise when the Contractor engages as an agent of the Owner (Cerić, 2015) and reduces the effectiveness of the construction site safety provision (Tam & Fung, 1998) by directly affecting safety climate conflation (Zahoor et al, 2017) through lack of stakeholder management commitment (Hinze, Thurman & Wehle, 2013). This places the Project Owner in a position to affect the behaviour of less powerful individuals and align their focus and objectives away from the project scope, objectives and delivery requirements and subsequent success (Hussein, Ahmad & Zidane, 2015;Yang, et al, 2010). However, there is considerable focus of published research relating to safety management studies in general (Keegan & Hartog, 2004), but there is a significant vacuum investigating the safe use of explosives in construction projects -especially in restive regions.…”

This is research is focused on the evaluation of Owner Engineer perceptions and its impacts on Explosives management practices and developments related to an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (EPC) Tunnel Construction Project in Kashmir using an interpretive methodology.The scope for this research was the Owner engineer project team. The population of interest was made up of 13 senior engineers, encompassing a multi-site EPC Tunnel Construction Project. Eleven (11) senior engineers were carefully targeted as a designed sample size.The research outcomes consisted of three (3) Main Themes - Site Safety; Explosives Management and Security Issues and fourteen (14) sub-themes, with 387 dialogue targets.The paper addresses a variety of major issues resulting from the analysis of narrative data relating to Owner project safety leaderships and raises determinations of the implications for managing safety at the project sites and in the wider community.

“…-Financial Moschouli et al, [12] suggested the need to have a proper management information system (MIS) to compliment project success. The same is endorsed by [13], that application of proper project management techniques will lead to project success. [14] argued that apart from time, cost and quality performance of the project, stakeholders and benefits to stakeholders should also be measured as part of the project's success.…”

Critical Success Factor (CSF) is necessary in construction industry to achieve its goal. Construction industry in India has shown a significant development in recent years and its effect on environment has also increased. Building projects are becoming more difficult and complex nowadays. The project team is facing unprecedented changes. Building maintenance play an important role compared to other factors in building operation. Also, construction research and development process has various factors which affect its success. The earlier approach to success in the construction industry places great emphasis on the ability to plan and implement projects. In the past, companies completing projects in a timely manner within a stipulated budget and meeting optimum quality have been considered successful companies. Minimizing an importance on management practices and organizational stability, companies with successful project completion have been considered as top-performers. In contrast, other industries insist management practices at a corporate level as an essential element of success. However, the future environment of the construction company will be different due to technological and economic advancements. The critical success factors are considered to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the project. The aim of this study is to identify the critical success factor, analyse them and point out which critical factors are important in stages of construction. Some of the factors are identified as crucial to success of the project.
