Abstract

The growing need for interoperability and the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) within the AEC domain (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) is leading to the increased need for efficient knowledge management. In order to digitally manage and understand large volumes of information contained in construction works projects, the paper suggests a knowledge engineering approach with a common knowledge model. The new knowledge model (ontology) for AEC domain is presented and applied as a case study in a real construction project. As a result, a more effective knowledge management throughout the whole lifecycle of AEC projects is expected.
