Abstract
This paper focuses mainly on the modeling of communication in
the construction industry where myriad problems such as
exchanging and transferring information and knowledge among
processes and organizations exist. This paper intends to
introduce a general communication model in which a new
concept called the "smart document (SD)" is developed. Along
with this concept that is considered the cornerstone for the
proposed communication model, other tools and concepts have
been developed such as the document life cycle, document route
map, communication objects, project document database,
communication channels, and the smart communication check
port. All these developments have proved to streamline
communication in the construction industry and will help
facilitate the use of the Internet as a common platform, and that
will eventually lead to great efficiency in this industry.
