Operational Ecosystem
I5 Model's Digital Ecosystem and Owner Control - A comprehensive technological infrastructure enabling efficient real estate development through seamless integration of design, manufacturing, construction, and management processes
Core Platform Integration
Body of Knowledge (BoK)
Central Configurable Governance Hub and organizational knowledge repository
Introduction to the I5 Operational Ecosystem
The I5 Operational Ecosystem creates an integrated network of platforms, technologies, and methodologies designed to work in harmony, eliminating traditional information silos and providing real-time visibility across the entire development lifecycle.
Central to this approach is the principle that core digital platforms are explicitly owned, procured, administered, updated, and controlled by the owner, who grants appropriate access to partners. The governance of specific construction technologies used by partners is determined by the owner on a case-by-case basis.
This ecosystem underpins the I5 Model's principles of productization, integration, and data centrality.
Core Technology Principles Guiding the Ecosystem
The successful implementation of the I5 Model relies on six fundamental technology principles, ensuring technology acts as a cohesive and transformative force
Owner Control
The Real Estate Developer explicitly owns, administers, and controls core digital platforms
Enhance and Supplement Existing Technologies
Prioritizes integrating and enhancing viable technologies rather than wholesale replacement
Vendor Neutrality
Technology selection based on functional capabilities and interoperability standards
Data Centrality and the Digital Thread
Data treated as primary deliverable with unified logical data model
The Integrated Ecosystem
Seamless workflows and data flow across entire real estate delivery lifecycle
The BoK as Configurable Governance Hub
Central engine for managing critical business decision workflows
The Digital Thread
Continuous flow of information ensuring transparency and data-driven insights throughout the asset lifecycle
Design
Procurement
Manufacturing
Construction
Operations
Real-time Data Integration
All phases connected through owner-controlled digital platforms ensuring seamless data flow and decision-making capabilities. Data flows from initial design to operational Digital Twin, creating a continuous feedback loop for improvement.
