One of the conditions for informational support of the construction projects' life cycle and, in particular, the capital construction projects is the organization of a common data environment or, as it is called abroad, the Common Data Environment. The common data environment, being an integral part of information modeling technologies in construction, is multilevel in nature. The article draws attention to the fact that the aforementioned research object at present is considered mainly from the standpoint of foreign national standards in the field of information modeling in construction, which considers the common data environment mainly at the level of electronic document management in daily work in the design and operation of buildings and structures. Modern domestic technologies for the organization of construction should necessarily consider buildings and structures in the context of their life cycle, and not the life path, as a sequential set of data state phases. This article discusses the common data environment features from the perspective of managing the buildings' life cycle. Using the analytical method of similarity and the dialectical method to describe the qualitative change in the model at a new consideration level, it is hypothesized that when moving from the considering interactions within the life cycle stage to the level of interactions between the life cycle stages, the concept of "data" gives a way to the "knowledge" concept. And in order to provide a complete ontology of the buildings and structures' "life cycle" concept, a model using knowledge share is proposed.
