Common Data Environment

The document discusses common data environments. It explains that a common data environment is a central repository for storing construction project information in a structured way online, allowing teams to collect, manage and share information. It is needed because unstructured data increases costs and reduces efficiency. A common data environment improves coordination and brings time and cost savings. It also discusses how BIM servers enable real-time collaboration by assembling and centralizing collected 2D, 3D and text data into a digital model that all clients can access.

Advanced Topics in Building


Information Modeling
What is a Common Data Environment?

● A well managed “central repository” for storing construction project


information.
● A platform for “well-structured” data.
[7]

● An online place for collecting, managing and sharing information amongst


the team working in a project.
Why is a Common Data Environment needed?

● Presence of unstructured, poorly coordinated and hard to find information.


● Unstructured data incurs 20-25% more cost in delivering the built
environment. [7]

● Improves efficiency and brings time and cost savings.


Product Data Management

● Initially developed to manage all product related data and associated


workflow processes.[1]
● Typically covered CAD drawing, assembly diagrams, project plans and
correspondence.[1]

BIM Server

● Assembling of collected 2D, 3D and


textual data to create precise
recreation of architectural project. [8]

● Client application reads from, and


writes to the same digital model.
● Centralising the flow of data, the BIM
server enables real-time
collaboration.[8]

Advantages of BIM based collaboration platform

● Better planning and design


● Visualization
● Transparency and fewer errors
● Support for prefabrication
● Collaboration
Disadvantages of BIM based collaboration platform

● Incompatibility with partners


● Lack of standards make interoperability among platforms hard
● Legal issues
● Cost of software
● Lack of experts
