Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the design and delivery of construction projects. The Common Data Environment (CDE) is crucial in fully realising the benefits of BIM – but how do you make sure you pick the right one?<\/h2>\n

In this ebook, construction software specialist Viewpoint<\/a> offers a comprehensive guide to CDEs and the key factors in selecting the best option to facilitate collaboration, smooth workflows and improved productivity.<\/p>\n

Put simply, CDEs provide a central repository that acts as a single source of information for the project team. It is used to collect, manage and distribute data<\/a> relating to all aspects of the project, including the 3D model and associated documents, reports, contracts, bids and more.<\/p>\n

The government’s Construction Strategy 2011-2015 required “fully collaborative 3D BIM” for all centrally procured projects, with all project and asset information, documentation and data being electronic, from April 2016. This was a minimum requirement of BIM Level 2.<\/p>\n

The mandatory processes to achieve BIM Level 2, set out in BS EN ISO 19650-2:2018 and BS EN ISO 19650-3:2020, along with the growing adoption of BIM to deliver housing, commercial, civil engineering and infrastructure projects has fuelled demand for CDEs to facilitate collaboration and avoid duplication.<\/p>\n

Viewpoint examines the two main options for CDEs<\/h3>\n

Supplier v client-provided: The different arguments for who should own and be responsible for its management.<\/p>\n

There is also a detailed evaluation of the key elements of a good CDE, from being PAS 1192 certified and the use of standardised information management for project data to the critical matter of CDE security.<\/p>\n

The ebook includes a case study of successful adoption of Viewpoint<\/a> for Projects by Sons & Co, a company specialising in the development of high-end residential projects in central London, for its CDE and the benefits it brought.<\/p>\n

There is also a rundown of key software features<\/a> document managers should look for in a CDE, from BIM framework, integrated drawings viewers and markup and revisions through to repeatable, collaborative workflow, quick search and unlimited document storage.<\/p>\n
