Projects in the building industry are extremely dynamic, driven by external conditions, modified user requirements and frequently changing business partners. Therefore, common principles should be established throughout the construction industry, which flexibly support the management of construction project information and processes. This paper presents an example of dynamic cross-enterprise process planning, execution and controlling on a conceptual and application level. It is based on a life-cycle oriented collaborative business process management model. The model supports collaborative business process modeling by using pre-defined process modules. The adaptation of the model to the specific requirements of the AEC&FM-domain is illustrated by the example of errors and omissions management in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Projects in the building industry are extremely dynamic and affected by several constraints. Therefore, common principles should be established throughout the construction industry that allows flexibly specifying and combining construction project information for the inter-organisational collaboration. New members should be supported to join and leave the project consortium by providing them with all relevant project information. Consequently, there is a need for an overall model representing the different design, construction and management activities as well as the building objects, organisational and IT infrastructure of the project. The paper presents an approach towards a common meta-model for collaborative construction process management. Relevant construction project constraints will be identified and classified in order to develop a Construction Network Meta-Model. Furthermore, a Framework for the instantiation of Construction Networks will be introduced.
