Advancing AEC Project Management: A Model-Based and Data-Driven Approach for Sustainable Practices

Abstract: The AEC industry is undergoing a transformative shift in project management, diverging from linear methods. The Total Life Cycle Process (TLCP) leads this change, grounded in DIN EN ISO 19650. TLCP utilises database-supported information models (dIMs), progressing towards a digital system. Through Information Requirement Matrices (IRMs), TLCP enriches communication, ensuring efficient stakeholder access. Evaluation and revision of linear processes enable a robust transition to an agile model, addressing challenges in project phase transitions. This cross-phase methodology optimises resource utilisation, embraces technology, and supports sustainability. The digital TLCP, LOIN-based, highlights factors, stimulating industry discussions and advancing practices for sustainable construction projects.
