The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is working to introduce and disseminate CIM (Construction Information Modeling / Management) in order to make the construction production process more efficient. CIM is aiming to achieve cooperation between the construction production process and 3D models.  This cooperation will facilitate information sharing among participants, improving productivity.  The effectiveness of CIM is confirmed at the Design and Construction from the results of field trials.  However, maintenance stage on-site trials are still not done.  Therefore, through this research, the effectiveness of CIM at the maintenance stage was confirmed by 4 procedures.  First, we developed a prototype of a CIM information managementplatform system intended for use at the maintenance stage.  Secondly, we examined a method of utilizing the prototype system at the maintenance site.  Thirdly, we conducted a trial of the prototype system at the maintenance site.  Finally, we evaluated the effectiveness of a CIM information management platform for maintenance.
