The terminology such as digital built environment and smart asset management, often referred to as Digital Construction, encompasses multiple technologies and processes related to information or project management and the management of related actionable events that trigger various outcomes. It can be said that the digitalization of construction began with designers moving from drawing boards […]
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a collaboration of all parties, systems and practices to optimize and maximize project success. Defined by the American Institute of Architects, IPD is typically applied to design and construction projects. NOTE: True IPD employs various constructs some of which MPA may be precluded from using by Commonwealth law (such as […]
An organized implementation of Lean Principles and Tools combined to allow a team to operate in unison.[1] [1] The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
Includes all the processes and activities used to design, produce and deliver the product or service to the Customer.[1] [1] The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
A diagram of every step involved in the material and information flows needed to bring a product from request to delivery. [1] [1] The Massachusetts Port Authority, 2015. BIM Guidelines for Vertical and Horizontal Construction.
Computer-aided design (CAD) encompasses the use of computers (hardware) and software to assist in the design process. CAD software is frequently used by different types of engineers and designers. CAD software can be used to create two-dimensional (2D) drawings or three-dimensional (3D) models.
A supply-chain management term describing partially finished information awaiting completion. In other words, the Information model is not to be used by any other project party. Before progression onto the next phase, the respective Key BIM Contact must approve all information. The designated area which stores the as-built geometric, non-geometric and other Project information, relating to […]
All project Model Authors’ information for the use of the entire project team. The Federated Model Manager will combine all information for checking against the AIR. All team members should be using other parties’ information for their internal coordination checks. To progress to the next stage, the Coordination Manager must authorise all information.

Information accepted by the nominated party, in which case it will be suitable for tender or construction (2D model output only). Such that the ‘Published’ area should be maintained in two parts: an ‘Information Container Store’ to hold all the published level 2 files (documents, geographic models and non-geographic structured data Information containers), and a […]
History of project information, such that any non-current published information in the published area should move into this area. New parties to the project will receive an invitation to join the CDE through the project Document Controller, once registered User Guides and System Protocols can be accessed via the navigation tree.
