In this paper, we discuss the necessity for establishing the team of Construction Information Modelling / Management ( hereafter referred to as “CIM” ) on managing design and construction of infrastructure development projects based on our case study of the station peripheral development project,（improvement project of traffic connection in station area), which was implemented for about 4 years since 2007. CIM means BIM for Infrastructure in Japan.
Our laboratory was to provide information to the client of this project as part of research. We adopted the second-tier consultation system to provide the construction information.
The second-tier consultation system consists of advancing consultations by synchronous intensive type where all stakeholders use the model space to discuss at the same place, and obtain consensus, asynchronous distributed type that exchanges information using the Knowledge Oriented Logistic Groupware, so called Kolg.
By the time this project was completed, our laboratory has played a critical role on managing the entire project, including investigating issues which could occur among stakeholders at the site.
In this paper we discussed our own roles in the project and clarify problems solutions, by introducing two remarkable cases where the second-tier consultation system was successfully implemented. As a result, we can confirm the second-tier consultation system contributes to the success of the project. This paper introduced and defined the CIM team for the project management through this case study.
