| dc.description.abstract | Effective information management is critical to the success of construction projects, yet the industry continues to face persistent challenges in this area. This study aims to investigate common challenges hindering efficient information management in construction projects, design a conceptual framework to address these challenges, and promote teamwork to facilitate effective information management throughout the project lifecycle. The research methodology involved a systematic literature review and interviews with key relevant stakeholders in the construction industry. The literature review encompassed academic papers, reports, and grey literature, ensuring a reliable and scholarly foundation for the investigation. The interviews involved professionals from construction companies, experts in information management, and relevant project stakeholders, providing a diverse representation of expertise within the industry. The study found that incomplete, inaccurate, or poorly defined information often leads to suboptimal decision-making, operational inefficiencies, and a reduction in the quality of facility operation and maintenance. The proposed framework is designed to establish a structured approach to information management in the construction industry, aligning closely with the real-world needs and challenges identified during the interview process. It is based on the principles and guidelines outlined in the ISO 19650 standard and can potentially provide practical solutions and recommended tools to facilitate the seamless implementation of the standard. The framework promotes teamwork and collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring that information is communicated transparently and exchanged with the appropriate individuals at the right time. By addressing the persistent challenges in information management, the proposed framework can help construction projects achieve success and deliver value to customers. | |
