Abstract
This paper presents a case study of integrated data
exchange between the different participants in a building
project the main contractor and the companies
representing the different design disciplines
(architectural design, structural engineering and HVAC &
E engineering). The focus is on the needs of the main
contractor in "Design and Construct" type of projects,
especially in the early cost estimation and tenderin,
stages of a building project. The system is utilised in
real-life building projects. The paper deals with three
main aspects in the data communication context: (1) the
logical contents and structure of the building
information; (2) the representation of the building
information in a data exchange format: and (3) network
connections and procedures.
