Abstract (EN): Portugal started during 2007 a major school refurbishment program. This endeavor had the initial goal of delivering more than 300 modernized complexes until the end of 2015. During the program, a new legal framework was published, introducing significant changes on the organization of the construction process, interaction between agents and requirements for the documents. Parque Escolar, EPE administration, in order to follow these new regulations as good as possible and in order to improve the global quality and outputs of the projects set the adoption of standardized processes, namely through the use of ProNIC; that is the acronym for Construction Information Standardization Protocol. Its fundamental element is a breakdown structure for construction works (WBS-CW) that can be used to set standardized bill of quantities for technical design delivery. Other information elements such as specifications, cost scenarios and project structure are linked to it as well as functionalities. These promote a collaborative work space for the design development. During the implementation process, new functionalities were added following the legislation requirements and specific needs from the different construction agents, namely designers, work owner and supervision. The present paper aims to describe in detail this implementation experience, following two main lines. 1-The platform disclosure, its information elements and deliverables, as well as the constraints associated to the implementation on the practical situation. 2-The results and achievements, namely in terms of information management for the work owner and other benefits evidenced by the different construction agents. The conclusion discusses the advantages on the use of this platform throughout the construction process, not only for school buildings, but also in other operations and construction types, the integration possibilities with other tools and the framework with the methodologies used by the construction industry.
