This paper presents on ontological framework to envision a construction project management system (CPMS). The framework has five dimensions: Outcomes, Stages, Resources, Processes and Management techniques. Each dimension is defined by a taxonomy derived from the literature and practice. The...

During project’s initialisation phase, conclusion of time of completion of project is a hurried affair. Conventional linear scheduling methods fail to capture on-time completion in reality. Ever growing needs on changes due to stakeholder, resource constraints, location, environmental factors,...

We present an ontological analysis of the problem of fostering knowledge sharing in project management. The ontology has five dimensions derived by parsing the problem statement, namely: (a) fostering methods, (b) fostering factors, (c) fostering functions, (d) knowledge types, and (e) knowledge...

Recently there has been major thrust and focus in construction sector across all formats of construction. Managing construction projects while integrating multidisciplinary engineering in all forms needs systematic approach, to and by stakeholders. Devising systemic plans and protocols to...

Construction process is known to generate waste due to its very nature of evolution of building inputs to its transformation to final form for use. At various stages of construction, the inputs gets deformed, discarded, disowned, discarded, discouraged, discounted, disgraced, diseased,...
