  ABSTRACT: For the uniqueness and one-time feature, construction project is urgently needed in knowledge transferring to acquire its high performance. This paper focuses in the exploration of knowledge transferring features from the network perspective. Based on the data from a real construction project team of 40 members, we find that all members have knowledge transferring behavior, while the knowledge transferring density is comparatively low and distance is long; from cluster analysis we find that 89 different clusters in the whole network, and some members (especially the managers) repeated appear in different clusters and assume the responsibilities in coordinating knowledge transferring.
