Numerous information management technologies have been developed to support and enhance the key aspects of construction project. Most of these technologies have been developed to solve specific construction dilemmas of the past. Hence, through information management technologies construction projects have been made efficient and risk-free (Piroozfar, and Piller, 2013). As result, most technologies are aimed at automating numerous designs and completion of construction tasks.
