N2 - Nowadays, all organization without exception depend on data, its management and storage to ensure success is achieved on a project. Data management involves the process of collecting, storing, sharing, controlling, and retrieval of information contained in the project coming from different sources. These data need to be stored properly to serve as a reference whenever needed (availability) for smooth project execution. The aim of this study is to discuss the capabilities of cloud storage for data management in the built environment during various projects execution phases. The study adopted a literature review methodology to draw knowledge on the way cloud storage operates as well as the services it provides. It is evident from the reviewed literature that data storage is highly important for data record and protection during the project lifecycle. This is because it gives maximum security to data owners compared to traditional data storage facilities that are available. The study concluded that a good data storage platform will help project parties to avoid data and information loss, scattered data, data incompleteness, project interruption due to data unavailability as well as theft of data. The study recommended that construction parties need to have a knowledge of the different technologies required for cloud data storage to improve data management on built environment projects.
