Integrated project management (IPA) is an innovative project management method characterised by the early involvement of the relevant construction stakeholders, such as planners and contractors. A multi-party contract (MPV) and the regulations it contains, e.g., on remuneration or liability, encourage and promote a collaborative working method. This collaboration and the transparent exchange of knowledge are important factors for the success of an IPA project.
The aim of this thesis is therefore to investigate how the exchange of information can be improved through digital methods and processes to provide the participants with optimal conditions for efficient project management. To develop a concept for this, important trends and challenges are examined with the help of a literature review and various digital methods are identified. Based on Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Common Data Environments (CDE), components of a system for digital information exchange will be created.
The feasibility is demonstrated by developing various use cases within the project implementation with IPA. The concept shows which advantages a central digital information exchange offers and which technical possibilities are already available today. By defining data formats and exchange processes, the exchange of information can be standardised, and interoperability improved. However, the use of digital systems is not a purely technical issue but requires intensive training and support due to the involvement of human interaction.
