Abstract
This paper describes work on the development of a knowledge-based system designed to help clients plan, monitor and control their construction projects. It describes a novel project model developed for this purpose. The paper initially concentrates on the practical aspect of knowledge acquisition indicating problems that were faced and solutions employed. Following this, the structure of the knowledge-based system which was developed is outlined and its use described. Conclusions are drawn as to the applicability of the model and the final system.
