It is very important to improve the overall efficiency in exchanging construction information among project Parties from the project set-up through the project completion. However, each government agency in Korea tendering construction projects has different structures in classifying information. This results in inefficiency of overall construction projects and cost increasing. This requires establishing a new construction information classification system. This research suggests a framework for an analysis of a standard classification system in setting up a standard classification system and in evaluating its applicability to business processes. According to the identified requirements of the classification system, this research analyzes and compares existing information classification systems such as Uniclass, Uniformat, and Korean Standard Classification System of Construction Information, and then identifies problems and approaches for the improvement.
