Studies researching how to prevent time and cost overruns in construction projects has laid the foundation for Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems, which are being actively employed in the construction industry. The success of the BIM systems in the industry is attributed to stakeholders creating planned three-dimensional (3D) models and preventing clashes on-site. However, as emphasized by the theoretical studies, the true success of the process is contingent upon the early commencement of accurate information sharing, a crucial aspect often overlooked in the industry. In complex structures like airports, subject to numerous regulatory requirements (hospitals, educational buildings, consulates, etc.), the early initiation of inter-party information sharing is particularly vital in the coordination processes. If the regulatory compliance audits are delayed to later phases such as construction or on-site coordination, this can result in a need for revisions in the work of various disciplines. In the present Information Age, the coordination of telecommunication rooms in airport facilities, where data usage and storage are continuous necessities, holds a significant importance. The aim of this study is to establish a framework that can be employed by designers, consultants, and relevant disciplines within contracting firms to ensure the initiation of the coordination for telecommunication rooms at airports during the early stages of a project. Initially, the necessity of conveying relevant information regarding the layout regulations of telecommunication rooms in early stages of airport projects has been discussed with industry representatives, and existing problems were identified through a literature review. Subsequently, an ontological approach has been proposed to solve or even mitigate the occurrence of identified problems, and the results have been analyzed.
