The use of knowledge
Article Abstract:
The UK construction industry is seeking to eradicate inefficient work practises and high costs through information sharing. The with-holding of information by one part of a construction team can have dire consequences for a project, whereas teamwork is promoted through efficient use of information. Using a solid teamwork system will enable the design consultant to involve all levels of the construction team right from the initial design concept, overcoming problems earlier in the project and reducing time and investment costs.
