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.

Experiences of edm usage in construction projects

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

Thomas Froese
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.
