Abstract
This paper presents a multiple case study on building design process with the implementation of IT tools (project extranet, two- and three-dimensional modeling and physical interference analysis system). It aims to investigate 3D harmonization design process and information and communication management during the building design process. The use of a web environment facilitated the communication of the technical teams, improving the information flow among them with the optimization of the entire project development. The management planning tasks involved action and communication plans development. The action plans were helpful for task workflows and schedules definition, timing for hiring teams, team members' training, certification and responsibilities. Moreover, they were crucial to the integration of the different design disciplines in order to minimize interferences and improve the harmonization of the whole building design. The communication plan proved to be crucial in maintaining the teams' dynamics as a whole, and the information flow for the entire process.
