CIB-W102 is the CIB Working Commission on Information and Knowledge Management in Construction. It was instigated in 1999 in Montreal. Some of its objectives are to explore: the potential of information and knowledge management processes and technologies to improve performance of construction organizations in the construction supply chains; the challenges of global markets for professionals, firms and the construction industry in different countries; the challenges of innovation, information and knowledge transfer to Small and Medium Enterprises; and how the exploitation of information and knowledge management could benefit construction education.

Fraunhofer IRB, the Information Centre for Planning and Building of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, being Germany’s central facility for national and international knowledge transfer in planning and building, develops and distributes information services and products which are tailored for the special requirements of target groups from the fields of architecture, engineering, construction (A.E.C.).

Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment CSTB is a State-owned industrial and commercial corporative, placed under the administrative supervision of the French Ministry of Housing. It is one of Europe's leading research and evaluation centres.
