Framework for Managing Multiple Common Data Environments
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2024
ABSTRACT
Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology streamlines the establishment of systematic methodologies for managing built asset information effectively throughout each asset’s entire life cycle. The recently introduced ISO 19650 series provides standardized processes and guidelines to facilitate the efficient management of such information. In this context, the ISO standards advocate for using a common data environment (CDE), which serves as a centralized repository for collecting and managing all graphical and non-graphical construction project data for the entire project team. Ideally, a single CDE should be utilized and maintained throughout the life cycle of each project. However, due to practical and technical challenges, multiple CDEs are frequently employed and managed concurrently in actual projects, leading to significant issues such as data inconsistencies, duplications, and missing information. This paper presents a framework for managing multiple CDEs, which enables the preservation of data integrity. The proposed framework is anticipated to foster the progression of BIM maturity levels in real-world projects.
