Provision and setup of a Common Data Environment (CDE) for the Olympic residences

Olympic Village, Milan

As part of the development of the new Olympic Village, commissioned by COIMA as one of the key projects for the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics, Bimfactory was responsible for the provision and setup of the CDE (Common Data Environment). The purpose of the platform is to provide a single source of documentary information and to transparently manage the approval processes for documents relating to the Construction Execution phase, also facilitated by the tracking of activities carried out by individual users within the system. In addition to enabling the uploading of documentation relating to the design phase, the platform was configured for the automated management of approvals for construction drawings and material submission forms.

The provision and configuration of the CDE includes the following activities related to CDE Management processes:

Analysis of processes and identification of stakeholder requirements
Platform setup and customisation
Training in the use of the CDE
Ongoing technical support throughout the supply period

The use of a CDE to manage the documentation and information flows of such a large and complex project has been, and continues to be, of great importance in ensuring order and transparency in the exchange of information relating to the execution of the works. This enabled agile management of the relationship between the contractor and the Site Supervision team, while consistently ensuring COIMA had access to and visibility of all project documents.

“On a construction site of the scale of the Olympic Village, document management is a critical factor for success. The Common Data Environment, configured and managed by Bimfactory, has streamlined processes, freeing up valuable resources for Site Supervision and ensuring compliance with deadlines and the quality of the project.“
