Contract management involves the process by which goods and services are acquired, utilized, monitored, and controlled in a project. Contract management addresses the contractual relationships from the initiation of a project to the completion of the project (i.e., completion of services and/or handover of deliverables).

This research seeks to gain a better understanding of how HR practices can support KM for contract management and how it is implemented in construction firms. The research also sought to establish a framework that can guide construction practitioners to manage contracts more effectively through KM techniques. KM principles are found to have a greater recognition at the individual and project levels than at the organizational level. Alarming from this research, it can also be seen that the maturity of KM implementation is higher across engineering firms as compared to the quantity surveyors, who is the primary party for construction contract documentation and administration. In the light of this, quantity surveying firms are still lagging other professional disciplines in leveraging KM to simply contract management.

Several survey papers reviewed the application of CBR method in specific fields. It should be noted that the majority of these researches focused on the medical domain (Bichindaritz & Marling, 2006; Choudhury & Begum, 2016; Holt et al., 2005; Montani, 2011; Nilsson & Sollenborn, 2004; S. Begum et al., 2011). For instance, Nilsson & Sollenborn (2004) investigated recent trends of medical CBR systems by making a comparison between them on the basis of purpose-oriented properties (e.g., diagnostic systems and classification systems) and construction-oriented properties (e.g., hybrid systems and adaptive systems). However, they did not investigate the techniques used in case matching or case adaptation. (S. Begum et al., 2011) extended the work of (Nilsson & Sollenborn, 2004) by investigating the techniques used in conjunction with CBR and in case matching. However, they did not examine the methods and techniques employed in case representation or case adaptation. Regarding construction management domain, (X. X. Hu et al., 2016) studied existing works that applied CBR approach to solve construction management issues. They demonstrated the wide use of CBR methodology in different application fields related to construction management domain (e.g., construction cost estimation, construction risk management and construction contract management). Nonetheless, the authors did not review the techniques employed in CBR tasks (e.g., case matching and case adaptation). (Shokouhi et al., 2014) presented an overview of the application of CBR approach in petroleum engineering domain with a particular focus on drilling engineering. They demonstrated the important role of CBR in supporting several drilling tasks, such as planning and optimisation of drilling process. Nevertheless, they did not explore the techniques used to perform case retrieval or case adaptation. A recent literature review was provided by (Khosravani & Nasiri, 2020) in which the authors reviewed the application of CBR approach in injection moulding industry. In particular, they reported case-based reasoning systems designed for different purposes in injection moulding field such as process design and fault diagnose. However, their survey focused only on purposes of CBR systems without examining the techniques used to design them.
