Creating a Data Management Plan starts by including important team members and selecting the right technology platform. Data Management Plans covers many areas, but importantly include the improved use and access of estimating cost data along with all in-progress, submitted and archived estimates in a single estimating platform.

Done correctly workflows are optimised, connecting PreConstruction efforts to project delivery teams without transposing or rearranging cost data.
