Construction Processes
Current construction processes PM-01. TENDER AND AGREEMENT WITH THE GENERAL
CONTRACTOR PM-02. CONTROL OF DESIGN DOCUMENTATION. PM-03. PLANNING AND SCHEDULING PM-04. CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION PM-05. INVESTOR’S SUPERVISION PM-06. MARSHALLING OF MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT DELIVERIES PM-07. ORGANISATION OF PROCESS START-UP PM-08. PREPARING REPORTS PM-09. CONTROL OF COSTS AND FINANCIAL SETTLEMENTS PM-10. FINAL ACCEPTANCE AND REPORT PM-11.DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY
ASSURANCE PROGRAMME PM-12. SUPERVISION OF SAFETY AND HEALTH AT WORK MATTERS

Scenarios selection
PM-01. TENDER AND AGREEMENT WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR E-Tendering: this scenario focuses on two of the main concerns of the
government bodies and institutions which are to encourage more SMEs to respond to tender notices as well as to ensure transparency in public processes.
PM-04. CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION E-site: this scenario deals with delays in the construction works and tries
to solve this problem by improving the coordination of companies during construction. Any incident in the construction site will be automatically reported to the interested partners so that they can react as soon as possible.
PM-06. MARSHALLING OF MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT DELIVERIES E-Procurement: this scenario provides an effective and rational supplier
selection model to discover, evaluate and select potential providers. PM11.DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY
ASSURANCE PROGRAMME E-Quality: instead of developing a specific quality model compliant with
the country where regulation is applied, it was agreed to include the quality concepts in the other data models. The e-Quality Scenario includes only the envisioning storytelling.

e-Business Semantic Platform
e-Business Technological Platform Nowadays there are several initiatives in the development of e-Business platforms.
DBE Platform. SOA and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). ebXML (Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language):
e-Business Model Data Models Internal Business Processes
Dynamics Decision points Connection to external and integration services
Semantic e-Business Model Data Models formalised as ontologies Dynamics of the business process
Semantic composition of services. Automatic workflow generation.
“Intelligent” decision points Semantic integration and external services
Our approach Data models formalised as ontologies Predefined workflow (Not semantic composition) But … “Action Boxes” in the workflow are semantic based.
Semantic services (integration and external) Some intelligent decision points

e-NVISION Contribution
Not focused on the development of another platform. Pre-requisite Not the main issue (DBE Cluster) Integration of existing technology Open-Source
The contributions of the e-NVISION: Envisioning construction e-Business scenarios
Taking into account SMEs’ needs and expectations Pre-requisites needed to make the scenarios possible.
Development of specific data models Provide the basis for the standardisation of the concepts managed in construction processes.
Business models needed to deploy the scenarios BPM: Internal organization SOA: External and integration services
Definition and Development of external services that help SMEs to participate in e-Business transactions.
These services will include among others, legal, economic and trust aspects.
Development of integration services. Facilitating the integration with the SMES’ backend enterprise applications.

Why e-Business?
PMC centralized construction management application. Include all construction phases Specific interface
Web Based (Instead of services based)
Too complex for most SMEs SMEs are involved only in a few construction stages.
Only considers PMC’s point of view SMEs can be working in several construction projects with different
scheduling constraints (providing services, materials or equipment)
E-Business approach isolates SMEs e-Business interfaces independent of the PMC management system SMEs only deal with the information they need

WP2 – e-Business Model Definition Approach
From current construction processes To envisioning story telling
External and internal needs
e-Business models
D2.1 e-Business Scenarios for the Future
D2.2 Future SMEs Requirements and Needs for the future Electronic Business
D2.3 Service-based reference e-Business Model for SMEs

From current construction processes To envisioning story telling
Current construction processes 12 different processes
Current trends (external sources) ECTP: European Construction Technology Platform eBusiness Watch: Construction Sector European Regulation Trends
Selection of most appropriate ones e-Tendering e-Procurement e-Site e-Quality
Story tellings Points of view

Requirements and Needs
Internal need: anything that the SME should adopt internally in order to take part in the e-NVISION scenario.
External need: Anything external to the SME without which the SME cannot take part in the scenario, that is, all the data models, external services, agents, etc… which are necessary for the future deployment of the e-NVISION scenarios.
Internal context Infrastructure Internal services Organization Socio-cultural changes
External context Data models External services Socio-cultural needs
