Every client and every project are different; each supplier has different ways of working and as a result, the CDE can take many different forms.<\/p>\n<p>The most common misunderstanding is that the CDE is a single technology, platform or system that you buy off the shelf. The reality is very different of course, a CDE is actually made up of a number of information management systems, that when it comes to practical implementation, are often owned by a number of different participating organisations.<\/p>\n<p>The CDE diagrams in the information standards, namely BS1192:2007, PAS1192:2 &amp; 3, are presented as logical diagrams. These diagrams are critical to understanding the theory and how information passes through a life cycle of its own, moving through assurance gateways and different \u2018work in progress\u2019 \u2018shared\u2019 and \u2018published\u2019 states.<\/p>\n<p>Figure 1 (below) illustrates how a number of information systems combine to create a CDE across an asset lifecycle in practice. We often use this diagram to invoke focused discussions on what information systems are needed to make up the CDE and importantly, who provides and manages them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure.jpg\" alt=\"a-burgess-figure\" width=\"1181\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure.jpg 1181w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure-696x492.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure-1068x755.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/A-Burgess-figure-594x420.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1181px) 100vw, 1181px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Broadly speaking the BIM Level 2 information systems fall into three categories and have a very different role to play in the CDE ecosystem:<\/p>\n<h3>1) Team information systems<\/h3>\n<p>Team information systems are dedicated to managing in-house \u2018work in progress\u2019 information that is shared amongst internal teams before being shared outside of an organisation with the wider project team.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of information in a managed team environment works with file templates, and enables control over file naming, minor and major versions, and suitability codes. This leads to greater levels of compliance with information standards from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>Each supplier responsible for the creation of information should have their own team information system. This will enable each team to control the creation and coordination of their own documents and data, before sharing it with others in the wider project team.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Project information systems<\/h3>\n<p>Project information systems are dedicated to managing shared and published project information models on major and minor capital delivery projects.<\/p>\n<p>The main purpose is to bring control and assurance to \u2018shared\u2019 and \u2018published\u2019 information management processes and to foster greater levels of collaboration amongst the project team during the planning, design and construction stages of a project.<\/p>\n<p>Also known as online project collaboration tools, these systems are often provided by the Tier 1 suppliers, either the lead designer or constructor and sometimes both, at the different stages of the project.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Asset Information Systems<\/h3>\n<p>Asset information systems are dedicated to managing both project information models (PIM) and asset information models (AIM). The information models are procured initially from suppliers responsible for the design, then from those responsible for the build and are updated by those responsible for ongoing maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>It can be helpful to think of project and asset information models as being a virtual representation of the built assets themselves, containing structured information about the physical and functional characteristics of the assets. At BIM Level 2 the PIM and AIM information models are a collection of model files, drawings, documents and structured data in COBie format.<\/p>\n<p>PCSG\u2019s recently published Guide to Using BIM, produced in association with Designing BuildingsWiki, officially defined the CDE as\u201d the ecosystem used to collect, manage and disseminate documentation, the graphical model and non-graphical data for the whole team through all stages of an asset\u2019s lifecycle. Creating a shared source of information facilitates collaboration between team members and helps avoid duplication and mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the introduction of BIM Level 2 and the CDE, project and asset information was provided in a variety of formats, inevitably incompatible, often hard to locate and the resulting inefficiencies added cost and time to the design and build.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting rethink around how we structure and effectively manage data\/documentation throughout the design, build and operation of an asset as part of the implications of BIM Level 2, produced the need for a CDE and raised the on-going challenge of how best this is made up.<\/p>\n<p>PCSG\u2019s message is that to meet this challenge, keep things as simple as you can. Setting up a CDE doesn\u2019t need to be complicated and is in fact quite straightforward if sufficient clarity is provided by the client organisation in the EIRs.<\/p>\n<p>Something we impress upon the client organisations we work with is that providing clarification in employer information requirements really helps. This way suppliers know what is expected of them regarding what information systems to provide and how to configure them.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that the EIR includes information workflows which will most likely follow the PAS 1192 part 2 and 3 information processes, but which are described in context with the intended information systems and the project.<\/p>\n<p>Typically design teams and other suppliers create and develop information in \u2018Work in Progress\u2019 areas within their own team information systems. Once that information is approved it is moved to a \u2018shared\u2019 area in a project information system, for other parties to access and work on it from their point of view. At regular intervals, information is published in the project information system, for use by the project team.<\/p>\n<p>At each key project stage, prescribed information deliverables (in line with the Employers Information Requirements (EIRs)) should be moved to the client\u2019s asset information system, where they are reviewed and eventually published.<\/p>\n<p>This published information in the asset information system is then used to procure contractors, suppliers, etc. and make key decisions along the course of a project. Once the project moves into the asset management phase, the asset information model can then be used to support maintenance and operational activities.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information about CDEs, information management systems and how best to configure them to manage your asset portfolio and projects, please contact Adrian Burgess using the details below.<\/p>\n<p>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adrian Burgess<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Technical Director<\/p>\n<p>PCSG<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:adrian.burgess@pcsg.co.uk\"><span>adrian.burgess@pcsg.co.uk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcsg.co.uk\"><span>www.pcsg.co.uk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/PCSG_World\"><span>Twitter @PCSG_World<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Common Data Environment needn\u2019t be complicated, explains Adrian Burgess, Technical Director at PCSG Even though the concept has been around for a while, there is still a lot of confusion around the Common Data Environment (CDE) and at PCSG we are seeing increasing demand from clients to help provide clarity.
