Applications of Knowledge Technology in Construction Industry

Abstract

Knowledge technology represents new way and opportunity of efficiency and productivity in construction industry. Progressive tools and applications as Building Information Modelling, learning machine systems, Internet of Things and generally digitalization in construction presents way how to easier and more effective achieve goals of construction projects. Paper discusses the issue of applications and knowledge technology in construction industry. Today trend in construction field is increasing demands on technology in spite of facts, that today exploitation of information and communication technology generally is not satisfied. BIM technology is one of the most supported tool in construction industry, generally. Especially, that's true in design phase. But, there are more other applications that are in connection or not with BIM technology. All these reasons confirm the importance of discussing the issue of knowledge technology, knowledge management and applications in the field of construction. Digitalization in construction industry is key in implementation of progressive knowledge-based technology. The main aim of the paper is to analyze knowledge technology and application in construction industry from theoretical point of view. Survey should be brings overview of knowledge applications in construction industry.
