Abstract

International Facility Management Association (IFMA) traditionally divides the management of real estate into asset, property and facility management. The paper explores how the emergence of building information modelling (BIM) has influenced the distribution of information about the building among the stakeholders. As-built BIM in industrial buildings is a significant part of digital transformation of industrial assets and emergence of Industry 4.0. The tendency of transferring the ownership of information from facility manager to asset manager as well as the increase of transparency is analysed in the recent literature. The development of as-built BIM has given the possibility to the owners of real estate to become not only the owners of the assets themselves but also the owners of digital assets. In order to clarify current situation in the scientific community, the research interest in building information modelling among the studies mentioning facility management, asset management and property management has been analysed. The role of information about the building components as well as practical examples of operational expenditures reduction are explored and discussed.

Highlights

In the era of absence of building information modelling (BIM) the role of the information owner about technical condition of an object was traditionally dedicated to the facility manager as a party responsible for maintenance of the building [1]
The graph above demonstrates that research interest in facility management among the investigations related with BIM keeps on growing for the last years
Major reviews in the topics of Facility Management in BIM conclude that the main gaps are greater consideration of long-term strategic aspirations; amelioration of data integration/interoperability issues; augmented knowledge management; enhanced performance measurement; and enriched training and competence development for facilities managers to better deal with the amorphous range of services covered by FM [13]

Summary

Introduction

In the era of absence of building information modelling (BIM) the role of the information owner about technical condition of an object was traditionally dedicated to the facility manager as a party responsible for maintenance of the building [1]. The party responsible for management and maintenance of the building while using BIM-technologies gets an access to criticalities that take place in documentation and preservation of existing assets [2]. The owners of the assets in real estate sector are not interested in the ownership of digital twin of the asset and underestimate the value of this information as well as potential savings in maintenance of the building and management of the assets as they are mostly not informed enough about the possibilities and advantages of digital twins [8]
