The GIS architecture allows the users and producers to maintain
and keep clean of topological errors the input and output data.
This topic is important when graphic and alphanumeric data
come from weak data structures or the data do not respect the
structural requirements of a GIS. Therefore, the strength of the
spatial analysis of the management system is hindered by
erroneous information among data sets (Ubeda and Egenhofer,
1997).
Last but not least, the chance of planning activities within the
architectural management system is one of the most positive
aspects that support multidisciplinary teams. Developed and
used GIS up-to-date data has proven to be very useful in, among
other applications, the surveys of documentation tasks, reports
on material removals and wastes (e.g. on different parts of the
building (Figure 6)), computation of new construction materials,
elaboration, analysis and print-out of fact sheets.

5. CONCLUSION
The feasibility and completeness of architectural project
management with GIS related technology has been outlined
within this paper. After some experiences developing and using
architectural management systems with large-scale projects,
there is no doubt of the benefits of linking the graphical
database with the alphanumeric information: accessibility,
coherence, maintenance, spatial data visualization, planning and
monitoring are just a few subjects that permit users coming
from the CAD world migrate into the GIS world.
Architectural documentation demands further work up of the
information system focusing delivery and visualization on the
Web. One of the new challenges will be to explore low-cost
products based on open source GIS technology. It will be
possible to access and validate architectural resources sharing a
Web server and publishing directly on a Web site. Following
this way, users and providers will be able to share, update and
deliver raw, processed and meaningful data without restrictions.
