Common Data Environment (CDE) Setup & Administration
We configure and run your Common Data Environment — Autodesk Construction Cloud, Asite, Aconex or SharePoint — with folder structures, permissions and workflows aligned to ISO 19650, then train your team and keep it running month to month.
A CDE your whole project team actually uses
A Common Data Environment is the single source of truth for project information. Set up well, it makes the current revision obvious, controls who can see and approve what, and leaves a clean audit trail. Set up badly, it becomes another shared drive that people work around.
We set up your CDE around how your projects run and the requirements of ISO 19650, then provide ongoing administration so it stays that way. CDE support can be delivered on its own or as part of our wider virtual project management services.
What’s included
- Platform configuration — setting up Autodesk Construction Cloud, Asite, Aconex or SharePoint for your project or organisation.
- Folder and container structures — a logical structure that reflects work-in-progress, shared, published and archived states.
- Permissions and access — role-based permissions for your team, consultants, contractors and client, reviewed as the project changes.
- ISO 19650 workflows — review, approval and status-change workflows aligned to the standard.
- Naming and metadata — naming conventions, status codes and metadata fields configured to support search and compliance.
- Templates — reusable project templates so new projects start with the right structure.
- Team training workshops — half-day platform training workshops for your team and delivery partners.
- Ongoing administration — user management, workflow support, housekeeping and regular health checks.
When you need it
- You are starting a project that requires a CDE and you don’t have one in place.
- You have a CDE licence, but the structure, permissions or workflows were never set up properly.
- A client or contractor has asked for ISO 19650-aligned information exchange through a CDE.
- Team members and partners are bypassing the CDE and sharing files by email.
- You need someone to administer the platform day to day without adding a permanent role.
How we work
- Free 30-minute consultation. We talk through your projects, your current setup and where the gaps are. No obligation.
- A monthly plan or a tailored fee proposal. Choose a monthly plan sized to your workload, or request a tailored fee proposal — we reply within 24–48 hours.
- Onboarding within 5 working days. We review your current platform, licences and project requirements, agree a configuration plan and get access set up.
- Monthly delivery with reporting. Your team delivers the agreed days each month with clear reporting. Up to 20% of unused days roll over, so quieter months aren’t wasted.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Common Data Environment (CDE)?
A CDE is the agreed online environment where project information is stored, shared, reviewed and approved. Under ISO 19650 it manages information through work-in-progress, shared, published and archived states, with controlled access and an audit trail.
Which CDE platforms do you set up?
We configure and administer Autodesk Construction Cloud, Asite, Aconex and SharePoint. If you haven’t chosen a platform yet, we can talk through the options during your free consultation.
How much does CDE setup and administration cost?
Pricing depends on the number of days and the roles you need each month. Request our plans and pricing and we’ll email you the full rate card, or ask for a tailored fee proposal — we reply within 24–48 hours.
Do you provide training on the platform?
Yes. Half-day platform training workshops are available for your team and delivery partners, covering the structure, workflows and procedures we have set up.
Can you take over administration of an existing CDE?
Yes. We review the current setup, fix structure, permission and workflow issues, and then provide ongoing administration on a monthly plan.
