Abstract

The construction industry is characterized by limited resources and a high level of competition. Limited resources and a competitive environment determine knowledge and information as a particularly important resource for the development of the construction industry. A communication network is one of the elements of a knowledge management system in projects and serves to organize and maintain information links between project participants. We have analysed the communication network between project participants for residential building construction using social network analysis (SNA). The purpose of this work is the calculation and analysis centrality measures for participants in the construction project delivery. Centrality measures can answer the following questions whether the node is influential or central to the network and whether the node is critical for the flow of information in the network.
