Statement of the Problem
There is the need for the construction organisation to reflect and take decision on timely basis as the construction industry is becoming collaborative, complicated and dynamic. Yusof et al. (2012) stressed that there is fast growing information in construction process which leads to the importance of managing knowledge in organisations. This idea aid the application of information and knowledge generated in the past construction projects which is critical and most important resources contributing to project successes (Alhaji et al., 2013a; Tan, 2015). 4 A lot of data, knowledge and experiences are generated during the construction phases. Most at times these knowledge and experiences vanished because they are not recorded, captured, handled, stored and shared or disseminated among the employees for re-used in future and subsequent projects (Alhaji et al., 2013a, and 2013b). Consequently, problems, mistakes, errors that occurred in previous projects, become recycled in new projects (Oke, Ogunsemi and Adeeko, 2013). Furthermore, most organisations in Nigeria are facing challenges in handling, storing, organizing and disseminating the information generated when needed to design and build new facility. Therefore for construction organisations to enhance their productivities, performances and promote their images there is the need for the efficient and effective knowledge management which is a critical and essential requirement in construction organisations. Oke et al. (2013) affirmed that, knowledge management practices among the construction organisations in Nigeria are still at the infancy. High percentage organisations failed in term of delivery time, budget and quality on most projects handled in Nigeria due to poor knowledge management practices. The problems would have been overcome or reduced if pass experience or knowledge gained in the previous contract has been re-used. More often and majority of the construction organisations do not keep record of the previous works, and the problem is compounded because those that handled them have left for greener pasture.
