BPMN models are useful for identifying the exchange
models in CIP concrete construction projects and provide
a base to later identify the content of each information
exchange package in the information delivery manual
(IDM). In the BPMN model, Omniclass designations for
project phases and project disciplines that participate in
developing and delivering projects are used (Tables 3.1a and

Major process phases are identified in the context of
their relation to CIP concrete construction. Omniclass clas-
sification is used to identify their relation to the overall
construction process (Omniclass 2013). In addition to the
standard BPMN notation, the IDM uses notation for infor-
mation exchanges between exchange models. Information
exchanges in nonmodel forms, such as text and tables, are
also identified and described. 4.2.1.2 Connection of all links—For traceability and
