Abstract/Summary: Product lifecycle management (PLM) is one of innovative manufacturing paradigms which leverages e-business technologies to allow a company's product content to be developed and integrated with all company business process through the extended enterprise. In these days, most construction companies also make an effort to enhance their system for creating, sharing and managing information to improve business efficiency through entire lifecycle of project execution. Because of different needs, business process and diverse engineering activities such as design, structural analysis, installing simulation, documents and data managements, a new paradigm for construction companies is needed to manage and share the entire workflow, and information in total project lifecycle. Building information model (BIM) is a kind of data model in construction industry to support agile and effective workflow. In this paper, we configured integrated framework which support engineering workflow by defining PLM based BIM and architecture. Each different kinds of system in the entire construction project lifecycle could access data and workflow with the integrated framework and Construction project lifecycle management (C-PLM) system.
