Abstract

Knowledge sharing in construction is one of the key challenges for successful implementation of a construction project. Thus, it would be a good idea to improve the knowledge sharing practices. This paper focuses in constructability management in large infrastructure projects. Constructability pursues to find ways to construct effectively. The paper analyses how the knowledge is shared when using the constructability management principles. We proposes how to improve the theoretical model on the incentives on knowledge sharing. We also concluded this paper with some future directions and suggestions about improving constructability by using knowledge sharing.
