[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] HanmiGlobal, a global construction project management (PM) specialist company, announced on the 18th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Naver Cloud to develop a business model for a Common Data Environment (CDE) for construction projects.

A Common Data Environment refers to an environment for managing and distributing information generated by various stakeholders in one place during the execution of work. This is defined in the "Basic Guidelines for Construction Industry BIM," published last year by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to present basic principles and standards for applying BIM (Building Information Modeling).

This agreement was made to significantly improve information accessibility in construction projects by combining HanmiGlobal's construction project management expertise with Naver Cloud's IT technology and infrastructure. Going forward, HanmiGlobal will develop a CDE platform reflecting user demands and provide professional consulting, while Naver Cloud will offer hardware and infrastructure management services necessary for building the CDE. The two companies plan to pursue broad collaboration, including technology exchange for digital transformation of construction projects and creation of business operation models.

Since 2019, HanmiGlobal has been independently developing ezCDE, a digital project management platform that integrates cloud technology with its construction project management know-how. HanmiGlobal plans to complete this platform with Naver Cloud, develop products based on it, and provide construction project management services to clients, thereby spreading and expanding CDE platform services at domestic and overseas construction sites.

Park Sanghyuk, Executive Director of HanmiGlobal D/T Promotion Office, said at the signing ceremony, "We expect a synergistic effect by combining cloud services with construction project management expertise through collaboration with Naver Cloud, the top IT company in Korea," adding, "We will provide differentiated customer services through digital technological innovation in construction projects."

Lim Taegun, Executive Director of Sales at Naver Cloud, said, "Naver Cloud, which provides specialized solutions for various industries, supports industry-optimized professional technologies for the digital transformation of the construction industry and has achieved significant collaboration cases," and added, "Through the MOU with HanmiGlobal, we will accelerate innovations that can positively impact the entire construction management business."
