The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is transforming project management, departing from traditional linear methodologies. At the forefront of this evolution is the Total Life Cycle Process (TLCP), a paradigm that redefines project management throughout the project lifecycle. Adhering to DIN EN ISO 19650 principles, this innovative methodology utilizes database-supported information models (dIMs), marking a substantial leap towards a fully digital project management system. Unlike conventional methods, TLCP transcends procedural changes by systematically deriving information requirements. This is achieved through meticulous analysis of Information Requirement Matrices (IRMs), tailored to address unique use cases in each project phase. This strategic approach not only enhances communication but also ensures stakeholders have timely access to relevant information, fostering efficiency and collaboration. Critical evaluation and revision of linear processes follow IRM analysis, forming the basis for a robust transition to an agile model. This addresses challenges in project phase transitions, laying the groundwork for a more efficient and integrated project management framework. The overarching goal is to present a cross-phase methodology optimizing resource utilization and adapting to technological advances in the dynamic AEC landscape. The methodology facilitates resource-efficient structure design, construction, operation, and decommissioning. The paper introduces a digital TLCP based on the Level of Information Need (LOIN) framework, embodying the key factors and serving as a practical demonstration. By presenting this digital TLCP, the authors aim to stimulate discussion within the AEC industry, contributing to the evolution of sustainable construction practices. In conclusion, this paper serves as a catalyst for a broader discussion, inviting AEC stakeholders to engage in the ongoing evolution of project management practices. The TLCP approach, emphasizing integration, sustainability, and adaptability, represents a significant stride towards efficiently managing construction projects for a more sustainable and resilient built environment.    «
