Abstract

Construction managers are not taking advantage of advanced information technologies (IT) to solve the related problems of information overload, delayed response, and higher overhead because of a lack of understanding of what technology is available, how to implement workflow or other information technology (IT) within their own firms and how to use IT to its fullest potential. The study will examine, identify and document several typical work processes within the management of a construction firm. The information thus collected will be used to determine how to successfully develop and implement the use of expert systems to control and automate business or workflow processes in construction management. Using this information, the theoretical rule-based model necessary for the development of an expert system to control the workflow program can be developed.
