“…In this paper, social network refers to a network of individuals in a project that can establish virtual social interactions for exchanging project related knowledge. Several studies have analyzed the social networks in design and construction projects (Keung and Shen 2012;Solis et al 2012;Wambeke et al 2011;Guha et al 2010;Park et al 2010;Chinowsky et al 2009;Billingham 2007;Chinowsky et al 2008;Hartmann and Fischer 2009;Howard and Petersen 2001). These studies have investigated the importance of social interactions between project participants but do not discuss project specific virtual social networking and the Internet's potential for facilitating creation of project virtual social networks for interaction among project participants.…”

Architecture, Engineering and Construction projects involve a number of individuals and organizations with different roles and responsibilities. In a new project, participants may initially not know each other; however, to be effective, those with a common interest must be able to easily find each other to share their knowledge about the project. Another requirement for effectively managing a project is the ability to easily add new knowledge to the project knowledge base. The current format for representing, accessing, and sharing project data cannot take advantage of the full potential of the Internet. The Internet allows producing distributed information that can be easily combined and shared. It is also a powerful medium for communication among individuals with a common interest who may not know each other.This paper presents a project social networking website that facilitates professional interactions among a project's participants and provides a dynamic project knowledge base that would allow combining knowledge created during various phases of a project lifecycle. The participants in a new project may join the project website using OpenID. The project website uses a Semantics-based approach to information modeling that allows project website members to add new knowledge to the project knowledge base and perform graph query on project data. The project website members can tag any piece of information in the project knowledge base to their social interactions.

“…Since introducing the social network model of construction by Chinowsky, Diekmann, and Galotti (2008), some researchers have focused on social network analysis (SNA) of construction projects (Di Marco, Taylor, &Alin, 2010, andWambeke, Liu, &Hsiang, 2012 among others). These studies however, primarily focused on a network of internal stakeholders involved in construction projects (traditionally called 'actors network').…”

“…It is used to measure to what extent a node can play the role of intermediary in the interaction between the others (Wambeke, Liu, & Hsiang, 2012). It quantifies the number of times a node acts as a bridge along the shortest path between two other nodes (Kanno, 2015).…”

Because of their specific and complex characteristics, construction projects are exposed to numerous risks of various natures, which make their management more difficult. In this setting, Project Risk Management is an indispensable activity for their successful delivery. It consists in the risk identification, assessment, prioritization, treatment, monitoring and control. This paper presents a novel approach for the identification of construction project risks and a network theory-based methodology for their modelling and analysis. These models serve as a powerful tools comparing to classical methods and provide a support for decision-making regarding Project Risk Management. A case study of a real construction project is used to illustrate these findings.
