In terms of methodology, the underlying research is conceptual by nature, and is

underpinned by literature review.

can be traced back to the design process due to many decision making processes and major amount of information exchange in

the design process.

The design process has significant impacts on both overall performance and efficiency of the project and on projects’

time and cost.

Effective design managementis critically important to overcome construction problems that are associated with the design process due to

poor design information management. Many construction problems

Identified IM challenges that need to be addressed in order to improve the overall projects efficiency

• Some of the key challenges within the construction design havebeen highlighted in this paper such as lack of communication and coordination, poor or missing input information, design changes.

• This paper identified some of the key IM challenges within the designprocess which have been summarised into four main categories ofsystems or tools, information, people, and policy and strategy.• These challenges have been linked to the construction design

problems and it is believed by the authors that by improving those, the IM will be accordingly improved.• BIM and Lean would enhance IM. It is believed that the

integration of BIM functionalities (i.e. visualisation)with Lean principles (i.e. reduce variability)enable better IM improvement during the

design process.
