Summary: |
In this paper, the data exchanges during the construction process will be analysed through the presentation of the specificity of the profession, -and the description of the construction process, by means of the merent related models. We will then present the two standards, STEP and MANDATE, both currently under development, first in their main features, then by the concepts they will be able to provide. We will focus on a presentation of MANDATE, since one of the models provided could be useful for the representation of the life cycle of buildings. This paper will end with some perspectives for the building construction domain, based on the integration of the whole construction process. |
