## 6 Conclusions  
The research showed that a large volume of the information produced on projects is file based. Given the existing asset management systems and organisational requirements, this is unavoidable. However, it was shown over the course of the research that it is possible to efficiently capture information on an object level. This type of system can then be used when producing information such as maintenance manuals and installation details. Machine-readable information stored at an object level such as this can be queried efficiently, mainly when operating an extensive network of assets such as a highway network. The proposed solution had many benefits (as shown in Section 4):  
1. Time savings--Automating tasks such as associating asset attributes with 3D models (adding structured information manually initially took 3 min, but that time was reduced to 20 s for the same number of attributes).

Accuracy--Allows suppliers to provide details in a machine-readable format, pinpointing the assets they are attributing the information to.
* Better structured information--The information produced can be catered towards project-specific Exchange Information Requirements (EIRs), which can then ensure that information is produced directly according to the requirements and will not create a bottleneck at handover.  
The research achieved innovations in the application and management of digital construction processes, especially in addressing the challenges of information overload and adapting to asset management requirements. By conducting a thorough analysis of standard digital construction processes in linear infrastructure projects, the study uncovered deficiencies in existing workflows. Based on these findings, a new framework was developed, aimed at optimizing the generation of critical project information, with a particular focus on meeting the specific needs of organizations responsible for the operation and management of built assets. The framework, developed through expert workshops and applied in actual projects, demonstrated its potential benefits and certain limitations. This study not only provides deep insights into existing digital construction processes, but also offers practical solutions in order to improve these processes, making them more effective in serving the specific needs of organizations.  
Future work will focus on fine-tuning the integration between the Information management Server and the BPMS. Testing the process management system with other databases would also be valuable, as testing was carried out only between non-graphical and graphical information. This system has the potential to be applied when developing documentation that will be more easily read by machines.
