Abstract
Infrastructure mega projects involve several complex clusters of interacting activities. Establishing suitably integrated management support systems for construction clients should be useful in targeting best value with reduced rework and wastages. This paper presents highlights from a co-ordinated cluster of ongoing Hong Kong based research initiatives that aims to develop an integrated Management Support System (MSS) framework for large clients in the construction industry. Also, an overview of the MSS framework and brief descriptions of some sample subsystems and prototype modules are included in this paper. The envisaged MSS is planned to enhance the infrastructure project procurement and operational/ delivery mechanisms.
