近年來，知識管理風潮逐漸地在提昇，知識管理可提昇企業競爭力，達成企業改造的目標。反觀傳統營建業的體制，其專案目標不外乎成本、品質、速度與安全四大項。由營建施工過程的特性來看，我們可以知道其參與的人員眾多，工作介面也相當的繁雜，以致在人與資訊流通的協調管理相當困難。利用資訊科技加上實現知識管理，使既有的知識產生作用，對於加速提升營建技術水準，以及國人對營建工程常識的汲取，將有一定之助益。所以營建業引進知識管理的概念進行知識的整合已是必然的趨勢了。營建產業為什麼要導入知識管理的概念？我們認為有以下幾點理由：
一、減少專業人員之流動率，預防知識斷層現象
許多營建業都為縮減規模而付出慘痛的代價，因為低落的員工忠誠度已不再是公司穩定的力量。當專業人才離去時，如何讓專業技術與經驗知識得以留存，如何讓新進員工迅速進入狀況，是營建業當前要正視之問題。
二、提高作業效
在資訊時代，完全以人工作業的決策工作，在速度與效能及準確度上，似乎在目前經濟社會中已跟不上腳步了。能將企業內部經驗經由知識系統的建立，進行知識資產的整合、電子化與標準化，將提高知識的可用性，不管在資料萃取、編輯、儲存、擷取、交換、傳播、回饋、評量、搜尋或再利用等方面，均能達到降低成本且提高效率的目的，無非是讓企業在競爭的環境中增加優勢。
三、易於與業務夥伴合作，促進產業整合
營建業的體系必須簡化與建築設計業者、專業營造商、工程顧問、供應商及其他業務夥伴的協同方式，才能充份有效率的整合這些外部的能力。而知識是組織中最重要的資產，知識的累積與分享是促進企業成長的重要因素。
環境在變組織也必須跟著調整。營建業必須轉型，才能在此數位經濟的潮流中出奇致勝。基於以上理由，營建知識管理之推展實為時勢所趨，勢必成為日後營建產業的走向。融合現有的營建管理經驗及人才，迅速調整公司體制，如此方能在營建工程自由化及國際化的環境中立於不敗之地。

Recently, knowledge management is gradually getting popular and recognized as an important tool to improve the industrial competitiveness and to achieve the goal in enterprise reengineering. In retrospect, cost, quality, effectiveness and safety are still the four main areas of concern in the construction industry. Due to multiple levels of workers and the different types of construction stages involved in the construction industry, it has complicated the integral management between the mass information and the people. The integration of information technology and the knowledge management will expedite the level of the construction techniques by effectively using the information available and will facilitate workers in obtaining the useful knowledge to apply to their current works. The introduction of knowledge management concepts as a way to integrate the mass information to the field has been an irresistible trend in the construction enterprise.
The following are three main reasons to explain why we need to introduce the concepts of knowledge management to the construction industry：
1.To reduce the turn over of the professional staff and to prevent the knowledge gaps. A lot of the construction companies paid a huge prize due to the huge turn over of employees. The loyalty is no longer existed as a stabilization anchor to the company. The lack of proper training and technical transfer has rendered a huge gap when experienced staff left the company. The improvement of transferring experienced techniques to the new employees would be the most serious topics to the companies in the industry.

2.To improve the managerial effectiveness
In this mass information era, it is almost impossible to catch up with the new pace of the current economical society completely just rely on the skills and experiences from each individual staff in terms of making critical decisions for the entire company or industry speedily, effectively and accurately. We have to establish a standardized knowledge system by organizing the skills and experiences collaboratively and make them electronically available. By increasing the usability of the knowledge during information collection, data compiling, storage, retrieving, exchanging, communicating, user’s feedback, evaluating, searching and reutilization, we can lower the cost and improve the effectiveness and thus strengthen the competitiveness in the industry.

3.To smooth integration among business partners and the industry
In order to effectively integrate partners involved with the industry, it is desirable to simplify the collaboration between construction industry and the related partners such as construction designers, professional construction builders, engineering consultants, suppliers and others. Among the important assets, accumulating and sharing related knowledge is the key factor in improving the growth in the industry.

The infrastructure of the society is gradually adjusting to the evolving world of technology, same as the construction industry it needs transformation. To cope with the digital environment and survive and stand up to the trend, transform the industry is unavoidable. Based on the above stated reasons, there is an inevitable urge to implement the knowledge management in the construction industry. By merging the current collaborative experiences and the professional skills in the industry, readjusting the structure inside the industry, our construction force therefore can strive and stand tall in the freer and more internationalized construction engineering area and keep abreast with the world globalization and create a win-win situation.
