BIM - Impact on Facility Management
01 July, 2022 07:32 PM
As we all know, BIM is changing the way in which buildings are designed and built, but it is important to emphasize that this methodology also affects how these buildings are managed and maintained.
The operational lifetime of a building is estimated to be the most expensive period of the building’s entire life cycle. It is for this same reason that public administration is keen to implement BIM in facility management systems in all of their existing assets and new construction projects, in order to have more control of the information and documentation generated from its properties and infrastructure.
BIM provides more reliable information to report to the board, as it can be received, stored, combined with other data and analysed seamlessly. BIM allows FMs to take informed decisions through the whole lifecycle of the facility around areas such as space use, floor planning, equipment and asset maintenance, energy consumption, and cost efficiencies. Such is the holistic nature of the BIM and FM integrated data, problems can be diagnosed quickly and performance predicted resulting in fewer equipment and asset failures.
