Building Renovation Process Map in Private and Public Works to Improve Communication and Data Exchange

Along the building process the cooperation among several stakeholders and the integration of information during the whole project life cycle, whether it is a new project or a renovation intervention, are two key essential factors. In fact, in AEC sector the loss of information, the lack of data and the improper or repetitive exchange of information are common issues that may cause delays and cost increase. To enhance communication and data transfer, an appropriate rationalization of information flows is necessary. Starting from the outcomes of BIM4EEB, an ongoing Horizon2020 project, the paper analyses the workflow processes to understand how to optimise information workflows among different actors and along different stages by the use of ICT and BIM-based tools. Particular attention was payed to individualise the differences between public and private works in order to provide methods and apply the BIM4EEB approach to renovation process in both cases.
