Impacts of adding knowledge flow to an activity‑based framework for conceptual design phase on performance of building projects

The construction industry suffers from an incomplete knowledge flow that leads to overrun cost and time. A considerable portion of this problem is attributable to the design stage which is a tacit knowledge-dominated area. Since knowledge tacitness results in an incomplete knowledge flow, we posit t...
