Knowledge is one of an organization's most important assets, hence organizations should strive to capture and reuse the knowledge of their workers in order to have continuous improvements. The construction industry is often associated with low levels of productivity, one of the reasons for which is due to poor knowledge management since mistakes made in one project are often repeated again in future projects. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a technology that has caused a paradigm shift in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Social media platforms are another recent invention that have diverse applications in every field. The main objective of this paper is to assess the usefulness of a BIM-based social platform for knowledge management, in particular tacit knowledge, in the construction industry. A case study demonstrating the use of such a platform, called Green 2.0, has been presented in this paper. The case study, relating to the construction of high performance, low cost housing, provides a proof of concept and shows that such platforms can provide an informal and engaging method for project-related discussions, in addition to providing advantageous visualizations to project stakeholders.
