Steps Toward the flow in the Infrastructure Industry with ACC: Owner-Led Data Sharing and Management Reform

NEXCO CENTRAL is a road management company constructing and managing highways in the central Japan area (total length: 2,183 km). Impeding challenges—aging highways and labor shortages in the construction industry—make the improvement on productivity at construction sites a high priority. In an attempt to tackle down the challenges, we started considering using BIM from 2017 to shift from analog data-centered to digitized-data-centered construction management. In 2020, we’d established standards necessary for BIM use and set a policy to embrace intelligent models in design and construction phases, ICT construction, and a common data environment (CDE). Based on this policy, BIM was finally applied to the design and construction phase from July 2025. In addition, we adopted Construction Cloud to realize a CDE to streamline the legacy means of communication between multiple project stakeholders. In this session, you will gain insights and tips on how to realize an owner-led CDE.
