| Abstract | ||
| BIM megaprojects are expanding today all across the world. These projects have huge data sets, complex objects, and several stakeholders. The Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management (AEC FM) industry is undertaking major responsibility for delivering quality services to meet clients’ expectations. Additionally, one of the current research gaps with emerging trends in BIM is integrating conventional methods with BIM. One of the main challenges is that the product data is resistant to the digital transformation strategy that the AEC FM industry is pursuing. This causes breakpoints in the digital data workflow throughout the BIM project life cycle. The paper used a questionnaire to solicit the opinion of AEC FM experts on using BIM objects and delivery methods for product data and their impact on digital data workflow. Then, the paper establishes a digital data repository (DDR) for vital manufactured standard products. It digitalizes the product data on graphical and non-graphical levels. The graphic level is packed into formats that serve closed and open BIM directions. The non-graphical level is loaded into Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) using a SQL server to enable the AEC FM industry to restructure product data digitally according to each project phase’s needs. DDR facilitates enhancing a digital workflow, reducing time, cost, and effort to manage product data, improving decision-making, and accelerating the performance of BIM projects. Furthermore, it enhances business opportunities for manufacturers in AEC FM markets. Finally, DDR is considered the digital identity of a product throughout the product life cycle. | ||
