Integrated Construction Project Document Management (ICPDM)
TLDR
A functional description of an integrated construction project document management system (ICPDM) system which focuses on the management of the different documents produced by the different participants in the construction process.Abstract:
The emphasis in research concerning methods for computer integrated construction has recently been on advanced data base techniques (product models) and AI applications. Another type of computer-aid for integration which could have a significant impact on practice in a shorter time-frame focuses on the management of the different documents which are produced by the different participants in the construction process. A functional description of such an integrated construction project document management (ICPDM) system is presented in the paper.read more

Experiences of edm usage in construction projects
Mathias Hjelt,Bo-Christer Björk +1 more
TL;DR: Initial results from an on-going case study with end users of an EDM system in a large construction project are reported, showing that users cannot be treated as a homogeneous group but differ considerably in attitudes towards the system, based on previous EDM experience.

A unified approach for modelling construction information
TL;DR: Object-oriented conceptual modelling techniques, which until now have been used mainly for product modelling, could be used to define a framework for the overall information management in a construction project.
Integrated computer-aided project management through standard object-oriented models
TL;DR: This research proves that a standard models approach to system integration is possible and that the resulting system offers extreme flexibility and significant integration.
