The study of investigating the necessity of utilization information systems in order to documentation in construction projects

Construction companies in today's changing world filled a significant role in the process of global economy and the significant volume of liquidity of countries flows in this companies. Nowadays, these companies are faced with a new condition. ON one hand, countries need development of infrastructure and on the other hand, developments in global process have a significant impact to them. These companies are constantly growing, but their durability and survival requires the use of modern management tools and information system, because if they can’t reduce the cost and increase the quality, they won’t have a place in competition. These companies should change their traditional methods to modern methods through a codified program and be prepared for upcoming situations. Technical documentation is an effective solution to reduce the cost of constructional management that leads to Increase productivity also. Technical documentation is a branch of knowledge management for transferring experience and tacit/objective knowledge among other projects. Due to the nature of constructional project, there is a need to information technology tools especially information system, for targeted, correct and complete documentation . In this study, the impact of information systems based on technical documentation, on the knowledge management cycle and consequently the technical documentation, has been evaluated. This purpose achieve by scrutiny of using information systems in each cycle of Zack Cycle in knowledge management, which include collecting, refining, storage / retrieval, distribution and display data. It was concluded that it seems to be necessary using information systems commensurate with the activities of this type of projects, for preventing duplication of many waste of energy and capital in construction projects, In addition, by using these systems, intangible assets resulting from doing this kind of projects that are typically high value and will be collected and used, which is important for knowledge management I hope the result of this research be able to answer many of the problems in the documentation of construction projects, and leads to reduce futile repetition and cost.
