Common Data Environment (CDE) - is a single source of information for any given project, used to

collect, manage and disseminate all relevant approved project documents for multi-disciplinary teams in
a managed process. OR a single source of information for the project which collects, manages and
disseminates relevant approved documents relating to the project (as defined by the CIC Outline Scope
of Services for the Role of Information Management) OR is a single source of information for any given
project or asset, used to collect, manage and disseminate all relevant approved files, documents and
data for multi-disciplinary teams in a managed process.

As-constructed defines the defect and deviation to the designed model occurring during construction.
The ‘as-constructed’ model and its appended documentation are continually updated through re-
measurement as construction progresses. This allows for deviation to be reviewed with respect to the
following packages and making knowledgeable assessment of impact and resolution

Clash Detection is detecting possible collisions between elements in a building information model which
would not otherwise be desired or buildable on site

Design Model means a model of those aspects of the project that have reached the stage of completion
that would customarily be expressed by an Architect/Engineer in twodimensional construction
documents. This shall not include models such as analytical evaluations, preliminary designs, studies, or
renderings. A model prepared by an Architect/Engineer that has not reached the stage of completion
specified is referred to as a model

Facility Management is management during the operational phase of a facility or building’s lifecycle,
which normally extends over many decades. It represents a continuous process of service provision to
support the client’s core business and one where improvement is sought on a continuous basis.

BIM tools • Revit Structural is used for analysing the structural elements of the project.

• An architect design the plan of building including the staircases, roofs etc with the help of Revit
Architectural.

• Revit MEP is used by both mechanical and electrical engineers to develop a model for HVAC and for
creating protection circuits & wiring in the building.

• To simulate and optimise scheduling of the project, Navisworks is used. • It is one of the commonly
used planning software. Cost-X is used in estimating the cost of the building. • It is used in identifying
and also updating quantities
