Development of Information System for Building Maintenance of Rented Housing Based on Work Breakdown Structure with Building Information Modeling

Abstract

Numbers of rented-housing has been rapidly increased as an impact of program and policy by Indonesian government. Rented-housing are a solution for housing in urban slums and low-income communities that are subsidized by the government. It provides challenges in the post-construction phase especially building maintenance activities. Operation and Maintenance phase takes the longest and the most expensive period in building lifecycle. About 75–80% of Total Life Cycle Cost of a building is spent during operation and maintenance phase. The problems are poor quality of rented-housing, damaged buildings and not well maintained. Those problems impact high maintenance cost that must be afforded by the occupants. The problem derived by leak of information and maintenance schedule, number of maintenance personnel and competencies. This study aims to improve the performance of building maintenance of rented-housing by developing Information Systems, so the building functions as it’s designed. Information System is proposed be solution for effective data management and scheduling of during maintenance building. Data and building information are important and have to be managed in order to perform building maintenance. Scope of building maintenance can be defined dynamically by Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Building Information Modeling (BIM) is used to handle technical data of building. Data of WBS, checking information, material and equipment information, supplier information, and building components parameters should be embedded in 3D/BIM model in order to effectively data storage on maintenance phase. The 3D/BIM object which effectively link with the information system has proposed an integration of scope management and schedule management. This research is qualitative, study case on rented-housing in Jakarta. Data obtained through literature analysis, and validated by experts to conclude the variable related to develop maintenance schedule in development of information systems. The result of the study is WBS-based Information System with BIM. Proposed Information Systems based on WBS using BIM can improve the performance of building maintenance.
