  • Abstract:
    The architectural, engineering, and construction industry (AEC) forms a major field of investment in both the public and private sectors, and it is essential to the proliferation of any other industry. The focus of the AEC industry is on providing new construction projects for its clients. Each project has a life cycle starting with the statement of objectives and the scope definition, and ending with project disposal and/or replacement. Throughout this life cycle, several project management tools are used and lessons are learned from the application of these tools. An effective method for storing these lessons learned for future reference, sorting them by type, and transferring the experience gained can be achieved through the application of multimedia technology. This paper describes a multimedia system called the Project Navigator, developed for tracking progress on a construction project as well as documenting the lessons learned from the project in a multimedia format for future reference by different project team members.
