Abstract
Knowledge-based systems (KBS) and multimedia technology (MMT) are matured technologies that have been widely used in many industries for years to solve complicated problems. The integration of KBS and MMT or intelligent multimedia provides a powerful tool for expertise-intensive training. Although many tasks in construction demand extensive expertise and years of experiences, the use of intelligent multimedia for training on these tasks has, however, hardly been documented in the literature. This paper aims to reveal the potential benefits of using intelligent multimedia for expertise-intensive training in construction. By referring to a case study in strategic cost estimate for building projects, it illustrates the facilities that the integrated system can offer. Since strategic cost estimate for a building project at early design stages is a time-consuming and extremely complex task that requires extensive human
