The Use of a Common Data Environment for Data Exchange in Building Information Management

Abstract

Building Information Management (BIM) represents a modern approach for managing all aspects of building information throughout the construction lifecycle. In order to ensure an effective management, it is necessary to use a Common Data Environment (CDE). Various CDEs platforms are available and this paper examines, discusses, and compares the types of data stored in CDE, as well as methods of georeferencing. The analysis is based on a case study involving the remodelling of a geodetic section of as-built documentation, transitioning from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to BIM.
