1. Introduction
Due to the fragmented and transient nature of the construction industry, the ability to capture and
manage project knowledge in a systematic manner has always been a significant challenge and a highly
debated issue among scholars and practitioners (Eliufoo, 2008). The problem is compounded by the fact
that most of the knowledge resides in people’s heads and often exists in the form of tacit knowledge. As a result, the industry continues to struggle in finding the best possible solutions to leverage on the valuable
intellectual asset in order to ensure long term growth and success (Rezgui, 2001).
