1.2.3

Implementation Process

The implementation process will be facilitated by Aconex. The process will require participation and input from key
project stakeholders to assist in defining the appropriate system configuration for the project.

CONTROLLED DOCUMENTS

This section details the fields and values associated with managing project documents using Aconex.
All project participants when registering documents must apply the appropriate document tags defined by for the
project. The document tags are the key information or metadata fields that are used to identify the document such
as Number, Title, Date Created. As a minimum Aconex requires all registered documents to be tagged with
mandatory fields (denoted by red asterisks).

4.2

Document Numbering Convention

All documents registered in Aconex are required to have a unique number assigned (i.e. no duplicate numbers can
be registered).
The Aconex document number field is flexible and can support a variety of numbering conventions commonly
adopted on projects. The document number field supports text, numbers and other characters permitted by the
Microsoft Windows operating system.

4.2.1

Document Numbering

All documents produced on this project must be numbered in accordance with the number convention defined below.
Please refer to the relevant reference tables for codes applicable to the numbering parts.

*The Number part can either be a simple sequential number or it can match the originators own file or
document number. The Building and Discipline prefix the number to ensure uniqueness.

4.2.2

Multiple File formats (e.g. CAD files)

Aconex does not support multiple file formats attached to an individual document number when registered on
Aconex. Where more than one file extension with the same document number is required, it should be registered as
a new document number with a file format abbreviation appended to the end of the document number. For example,
when there is a requirement to register both the PDF and DWG version of a CAD file. In order to differentiate
between the two documents, include a file format or other suffix (e.g. CAD):

Please note that the suffix is only required where the same file in two formats need to be registered. It can be
omitted if only a single format of the file is being registered.
Whilst native files are required for coordination at certain stages/phases of the project the agreed project document
distribution format is PDF.

4.2.3

File Name Recognition

Files named and saved in local/network drives in accordance with the project document numbering convention are
able to capitalize on the file name recognition feature in Aconex. The figure below provides examples of appropriate
file names and how the elements of the file name will be imported into Aconex as the document number and revision.

4.3

Revision Convention

Document revisions should be sequential and should not change unless the project moves to the next phase.
Members registering or superseding documents are to update the revision in accordance with the convention
described for each status lifecycle.

4.4

Title Convention

The Document Title is important and all team members must use coherent titles when registering documents. This
field is an important element in searching for and retrieval of historical information within the database. The following
are guidelines on good practice use of the title field:

DO make the title the same as the hardcopy

Titles should typically be very specific, e.g.Building A Ground Floor Reflected Ceiling Layout or Design Team
Meeting Minutes.

DONT duplicate document titles

DONT use vague titles like: Drawing 1, Drawing 2, Drawing 3 etc.

drawings, schedules or other documents that should be distributed within the Documents module in Aconex.

5.1

Project Mail Protocols

All project specific communication on this project must be sent via Aconex. Other means of correspondence such as
email and fax will not be accepted by Brookfield Multiplex unless approval is given by Brookfield Multiplex, in
exceptional circumstances only.
Please ensure the following practices are always adhered to when using the project mail module:
1.

Avoid correspondence overload by refraining from a scattergun approach. Address To and CC


correspondence to relevant recipients only.

Insert a clear and concise subject title with key searchable words (easier to find later)

3.

If the correspondence requires a response (and only when a response is essential), you must;

4.

5.2

Select the Response Required option (assists with exception reporting)


Nominate who you anticipate the response from (address To and then CC others)
Insert a reasonable respond by date

When responding, ensure that you select the Reply option so that questions and responses are linked. In
doing so the mail system will acknowledge at both ends that you have responded.

Please use meaningful subject lines to facilitate efficient Project Mail retrieval and reporting in Aconex.

5.7

Project Mail Approval

Aconex allows organizations to implement mail approval to prevent unauthorized distribution of selected project mail
types to other organizations. This feature allows the nominated approvers to view the mail before it is issued
externally.

Representative to assist with setting up this function.
