Common Data Environment
A centralized digital platform where all project information is stored and managed.
Definition
A Common Data Environment (CDE) is a centralized digital hub that stores all project information—drawings, models, specifications, correspondence, and more—in a structured, accessible format. AI enhances CDEs by automatically organizing content, enabling intelligent search, identifying related documents, and ensuring information consistency across the project. This creates the foundation for AI-powered project workflows.
