Abstract

The aim of this paper was to provide a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based management system for the Civil Engineering School (ETSICCP) at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid with a long-term development perspective. A Building Information Modeling (BIM) management system for complex infrastructure facilities demands a detailed 3-Dimensional model according to future management requirements. In this study, the infrastructure of the ETSICCP was modeled on various phases and synchronized with not only external educational information but also with facility management (FM) parameters. The methodology followed in this study ranges from the blank paper to a BIM-based detailed FM system oriented to educational scheduling throughout the infrastructure providing real time information synchronized with spreadsheets and a 3-D model. The result of this paper provides multiples future management lines, like COVID-19 BIM-management or synchronization with local public transports’ applications (mainly metro and bus transport systems), through a public accessible Application Programming Interface (API). The significance of this research relies on the generation of an information and management system, based on a BIM model of a university campus. This project was designed for all the agents involved in its operation, students, lecturers, and managers. All these agents have a level of access appropriate to their needs and functions within the institution.

Highlights

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is defined as a methodology of collaborative scope able to create an application environment that can host all the disciplines involved in a construction project with a great amount of information either ascribed or applicable to the different project stages, i.e., design, construction and service and maintenance management.Under the concept of BIM multiple definitions are collected, such as the one given by ISO29481-1:2010, which defines BIM as a digital representation of functionalities and characteristics of every built element
This paper shows the beginning of a long-term development system with near future implementations of the BIM management system
As a result of the research, a complete BIM model was performed, hosting all the parameters associated with day-to-day management tasks

Summary

Introduction

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is defined as a methodology of collaborative scope able to create an application environment that can host all the disciplines involved in a construction project with a great amount of information either ascribed or applicable to the different project stages, i.e., design, construction and service and maintenance management.Under the concept of BIM multiple definitions are collected, such as the one given by ISO29481-1:2010, which defines BIM as a digital representation of functionalities and characteristics of every built element. Most common research points BIM to a methodology of collaborative scope that hosts all disciplines and related information pertinent to a project development and the required execution phases. Each execution phase requires different types of information This information can be useful in future stages of the infrastructure life, using the BIM model as a tool for efficient management with accurate information [1] or even more considering possible future demolition phases [2,3]. This way, in any episode of the project life, a large amount of information is available due
