Exploring the Role of CDE in Large-scale Project Management at Takenaka Corporation

On May 26, 2026, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is hosting an insightful seminar featuring Hidetaka Takimoto, head of the BIM Group at Takenaka Corporation’s Tokyo headquarters. This event focuses on the practical application of the Common Data Environment (CDE) in managing large-scale projects and enhancing data integration in construction processes.
