The Single Model Environment
The Construction Industry agrees that collaborative design and engineering, based
on increased sharing of information between disciplines and across geographical
boundaries, is the only way forward.The continuing development of object-oriented

and data sharing to happen, leading to the growth of truly collaborative
environments throughout the whole construction process.This article applies this theory in detail.
