The need for acquiring, storing, processing, and presenting quality data in a timely manner in support of construction project management is well recognized. Therefore, a properly developed information system that manages the required data is crucial to the success of project management. However, one type of useful data and information, namely, multimedia (pictures, videos, and audio), has not been appropriately acquired and/or managed in construction. Researchers are just beginning to explore and evaluate the benefits of multimedia information in construction applications. This paper discusses some of the potential applications of multimedia in construction and describes the implementation of a prototype multimedia information system for construction delay management. The system tracks a variety of data types related to delays, including pictures, videos, and audio.
