Abstract: Why are real construction projects still so seldomly assisted by building simulations? Within the research project SolConPro, a new and detailed investigation of the current digitalization processes in construction has been performed. Based on its results, new concepts for data management and for data preprocessing are suggested. By keeping data management independent of the applications, the same data amount can be addressed by several software programs at once. For information management, linked data structures are suggested, while for filtering and preprocessing, a new concept named Rule-Based views (RBV) is suggested. The paper shows the implementation of both innovations by connecting the innovative data management to the BIM software program Autodesk Revit.
