A Research on Knowledge Management of Construction Cost Control

Abstract:

In order to raise the level of management in building construction cost, knowledge management approach is proposed in this paper. An XML (Extensible Markup Language)-based paradigm matrix is established to represent construction cost control knowledge. In the matrix, the row elements are made up of feature attributes, and construction working procedures are the components of the column. Furthermore, based on the Hamming weighted proximity, the closeness between new construction projects and target case is calculated such that the similarity is obtained, by this method the knowledge matching is achieved. These methods remedy non-standardized description of the construction cost control knowledge and inefficient retrieval of the construction cost control cases, which offers a basis for knowledge management in construction cost control.
