Exactitude, multiplicity and integration in Information Modelling & Management

Abstract

The strategies implemented by public and private contracting authorities require a more and more demanding level of management obtained through an ordered and related catalogs of all elements of the design process. Innovative data storage systems and advanced digital tools require specific production practices that are able to integrate the activities of all the actors involved in a building process. Through an analysis of some research and professional experiences, led by the authors, the present contribution offers an overall frame for this new holistic approach, which is supported by methods and tools that strengthen the information content of the design, reduce the errors in the evaluation of time and costs and adhere more to the performance and functional requirements.
