An integrated object framework, called BCOF (Building Construction ObjectFramework), for realization of ISO Building Construction Core Model (ISO BCCM or ISO PartJ06) is proposed in this paper to address the multidisciplinary problems of information integration in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry. Discussions are given first on both the issues related to information integration in the AEC industry and the design considerations of BCOF. Then, the preliminary design and implementation of BCOF are presented.
