Enterprise Modeling of A/E/C Firm

Dynamic nature of the A/E/C industry, multiple project participant, and disconnected communication between project participants make it difficult to develop integrated information systems for the A/E/C industry. This paper focuses on defining of interrelationship between data model and process model for construction project management, as a step toward fully integrated project management. The paper presents the Information Engineering method for developing an Information Strategy Plan of project management for A/E/C firm, evaluates existing project management software, and uses results of interaction model to identify the best architecture choices for each situation.
