Abstract: Techniques for managing data and data connections for a construction project involve (1) establishing respective data connections between (i) each party-entity data record and a project-entity data record for the construction project, and (ii) each party-entity data record and each respective object-entity data record for the construction project, (2) determining each party's permissions for retaining access to (i) the project-entity data record and (ii) each object-entity data record after a trigger event occurs, and (3) generating (i) respective connection data encoding the party's permissions for retaining access to the project-entity data record to be stored in association with the respective data connection between the party-entity data record and the project-entity data record and (ii) respective connection data encoding the party's permissions for retaining access to each respective object-entity data record in association with the respective data connection between the party-entity data record and the

Abstract: A computing system configured to: (i) receive a request to create a project entity; create the project entity; establish a data connection between a first party and the project entity; and define the first party's default data retention settings; (ii) receive a request to create a set of data objects associated with the project entity; create each data object in the set; establish a respective data connection between the first party and each data object; and define the first party's data retention settings for the respective data object; (iii) after receiving an indication that a second party has accepted the first party's invitation to collaborate: establish a data connection between the second party and the project entity; define the second party's default data retention settings; establish a respective data connection between the second party and each data object; and define the second party's data retention settings for each data object to match the second party's default data retention settings.
