Abstract
Building information modeling (BIM) technologies use precise geometry and relevant data to enhance and improve the maintenance performance of facilities integrated with 3D object-oriented computer aided design (CAD). Although most owners agree on the potential benefits of integrating BIM technologies with facility management (FM), they must overcome many problems to plan and develop effective BIM execution plans for FM implementation. This study proposes and develops a BIM execution plan for BIM model management for FM during the pre-operation phase. Through the application of the proposed BIM execution plan, BIM can be effectively implemented during the operation and maintenance phases. In order to verify the proposed methodology and demonstrate its effectiveness in practice, the BIM execution plan is then applied in a selected case study of a building project in Taiwan. The combined results demonstrate that the proposed BIM execution plan is an effective approach for operation and maintenance management. The advantage of the proposed BIM execution plan lies not only in improving the efficiency of maintenance management work when integrated with BIM technologies, but also in maximizing the value and benefits of BIM to support maintenance management. Finally, limitations, difficulties, and suggestions are summarized for further development of the BIM execution plan for BIM model management during the pre-operation phase.
Highlights
Building information modeling (BIM) technologies use precise geometry and relevant data to enhance and improve the maintenance service of facilities through the 3D object-oriented computer aided design (CAD). most owners agree on the potential benefits of BIM technologies integrated with facility management (FM), there are many problems for the owners to plan and develop effective BIM execution plans for FM implementation
Building information modeling has changed how FM is implemented during the operation phase
Implementation of FM using visual communication and sharing among different participants has become possible with BIM technology
Summary
Building information modeling (BIM) technologies use precise geometry and relevant data to enhance and improve the maintenance service of facilities through the 3D object-oriented CAD. Most owners agree on the potential benefits of BIM technologies integrated with facility management (FM), there are many problems for the owners to plan and develop effective BIM execution plans for FM implementation. This study proposes and develops a BIM execution plan for FM, especially during the operation and maintenance phase. There are many advantages in using BIM for FM, there are many difficulties associated with the planning and application of BIM for FM during the pre-operation phase. Many studies have focused on the application of BIM technology during the operation phase, little research has considered the development of a BIM execution plan for owners during the pre-operation phase. Without suitable plans and approaches, it is difficult for owners to Buildings 2016, 6, 8; doi:10.3390/buildings6010008 www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings
