Owning the building but not the data, why?

If you’re paying millions to design and build a building, why wouldn’t you want to have ownership of the project data?

Why do building owners leave their Common Data Environment (CDE) exclusively in the hands of the supply chain? Are they saying it’s too difficult technically, too complicated with contracts, or they just don’t think data is worth it?

Whether you’re just starting out, halfway through building, or wrapping things up, you could lose access to your project’s info. Lots of stuff can cause this, maybe contract problems, bankruptcies, or just not managing CDE well.

We’ll talk about the worst-case scenario: losing access to your project’s vital info because it’s stuck in a CDE you can’t get into anymore.

We’ll see how smart developers are handling shared CDE ownership using Dalux Project Connect.
