Digital project delivery isn't yet another tool. It's an improved, collaborative way of working for building and infrastructure projects—from plan to design to construct to operate. It connects people, data, and workflows across the project lifecycle in a secure common data environment.
Centralizing data ensures that stakeholders can access the right information, in the right format, when they need it. By integrating live, multi-discipline data, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), cost, and schedule tracking in a centralized source of truth, teams can design and iterate in parallel and manage projects efficiently while protecting intellectual property, controlling versions, and resolving issues.
This connected, interoperable environment opens the door to automation, multi-discipline workflows, and global connectivity, leading to better quality, greater productivity, and on-time and on-budget delivery.
Digital project delivery connects people, data, and processes in a shared, cloud-based common data environment (CDE), allowing teams to aggregate models and centralize data at every project stage.
Through a CDE, stakeholders can come together to plan, design, construct, and operate projects through the integration of live, multi-discipline data. This helps remove data silos and communication barriers, and means that all team members can access the right information in the right format when they need it.
Enhance productivity, optimize talent, and hasten project delivery by integrating all stakeholders in a cloud-based common data environment, allowing secure, timely, and effective data exchange in parallel.
Enhance cost, resource, and safety optimization as well as asset performance by sharing data across the team, enabling efficient work within budget and optimal decision-making at crucial project stages.
Centralize data in a common data environment for model-based handovers. These data-rich models become the foundation of a digital twin, providing visibility of how the asset, spaces, and systems operate together, and key learnings for future projects.

Today’s building projects are faced with an increasingly disjointed array of tools, files, and suppliers, leading to silos, miscommunication, delays, and avoidable rework.
Too often, data is passed piece by piece, from one person to the next, in many different formats. Information is often lost or miscommunicated along the way.
Enter digital project delivery. Not a tool, but a cloud-based collaboration process that connects people, data, and workflows in a common data environment across the project lifecycle.
Architects
Digital project delivery enables architects to consolidate project data into a single source of truth, empowering them to clearly communicate their vision to clients and stakeholders—ensuring it comes to life exactly as imagined.
MEP & Structural Engineers
With digital project delivery, engineers can centralize all their documents, submit scopes, and manage correspondence and action items all in one place.
General Contractors
Working in a common data environment, general contractors gain full project visibility, allowing them to actively manage risk, schedules, quality, and costs. This reduces rework and drives higher client satisfaction.
Owners & operators
Digital project delivery brings owners and operators into the fold, giving them better visibility and control throughout the project lifecycle.
Collaborating within a common data environment during the plan stage enables:
The common data environment increases efficiency in the design stage by:
During construction, a single source of truth allows stakeholders to:
In the maintain and operate phase, stakeholders can:
As few as 10% of AECO firms currently operate from a single digital ecosystem, but those that do are shown to be more efficient, more adaptable, and more profitable.

Too often in road and highway projects, data starts in a silo and stays in a silo throughout the project, all the way from plan to design to construct to operate. Hundreds—maybe thousands—of models are generated, data is recreated, and files often don't work with each other. This results in inevitable mistakes and costly rework.
With digital project delivery, teams move from siloed to collaborative and connected workflows enabled by a common data environment, which gives every stakeholder access to aggregated models and centralized data at every stage. Watch our video to understand how it works.
Engineering Service Providers
With a common data environment, engineering consultants and program managers can manage documents, control access, run simulations and analysis, and track changes, improving collaboration, speeding up decision-making, and enhancing project efficiency.
Owner/Operator & Program Manager
Owners and program managers can share documents and access data-rich models within a common data environment to communicate and visualize design implementation with stakeholders.
General Contractors
Working within a common data environment provides general contractors with access to detailed insights, historical context, and improved collaboration with engineering teams at any point in the project.
Working in a common data environment allows stakeholders to:
In the design phase, digital project delivery enables collaborators to:
Working from a single source of truth enables project collaborators to:
Centralized documentation in a common data environment allows stakeholders to:
The sheer size, public impact, and extensive teams involved in building roads and highways are putting increasing pressures on project owners.
To meet these new requirements, firms should use connected solutions such as digital project delivery to ensure fast, seamless collaboration between stakeholders. Read our e-book, Staying ahead of the curve, to find out why.
Rail projects require the coordination of dozens of different disciplines and stakeholders, and are often overflowing with siloed data, incompatible files, and disconnected designs as a result. Across each project stage, the errors add up, costs overrun, delays grow longer—and the impact on the public grows.
Digital project delivery breaks through these barriers with a common data environment (CDE), coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, improving risk management, and ensuring projects stay on budget and on schedule. Watch our explainer video to find out how you can move from isolated to collaborative and connected workflows with digital project delivery.
Engineering Service Providers
Engineers can start and stay in a common data environment for improved project visibility, which leads to more informed decision-making and better collaboration with owners and general contractors.
Owners & Program Managers
Centralized document management saves owners and project managers time before, during, and after each project. It allows them time to focus on improving the project’s sustainability and environmental impact.
General Contractors
With digital project delivery, general contractors can access centralized documentation and detailed insights so that they can evaluate and provide valuable feedback at any stage of the project.
Integrating workflows in a single source of truth enables stakeholders to:
