Abstract
A typical building project has a long life in the maintenance stage. Also, the cost at this stage is enormously huge compared to planning, design and construction phases. In the earlier stage, which is planning or design phase, however, many project participants put little emphasis on the maintenance information. As a result, important maintenance data is missing and erroneously feedback to the 3D/BIM model. This research provides a generic process model for maintenance information management for building facilities. The authors have identified that there exist most-frequently used information areas: checking information, material information, equipment information, supplier information, and maintenance history information. Each information area should be embedded in the BIM model in order to effectively feedback to the operation and maintenance stage in the project. Thus, the study has proposed a novel data format structure which can effectively link the 3D/BIM object with the maintenance data. The demonstration project shows how the data format structure is used. The contribution of this study is to provide guidance to a project practitioner by step-by-step approach in dealing with the significant maintenance information in the earlier stage of the construction project.
Highlights
A building has a typical life-cycle, i.e., planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance stages
The purpose of this study is to save time and money by conducting Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based FM tasks which are identified in a traditional FM work process more efficiently and systematically
If the facility maintenance work is carried out with the proposed BIM model-based process, the building maintenance work process will be robust and more efficient work will be conducted by each sub-process stage
Summary
A building has a typical life-cycle, i.e., planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance stages. How to cite this paper: Ahn, D. and Cha, H. Journal of Building Construction and Planning Research, 2, 166-172. Cha this period, the performance of facilities is changed and quality and performance are degraded as structural members, parts and equipment etc. The performance of facilities is changed and quality and performance are degraded as structural members, parts and equipment etc. This reduces the user’s convenience and safety and if the buildings are not appropriately managed, enormous cost is required [1]. As buildings get larger and complicated due to the modernization of construction technology, the current facility maintenance tasks and related information management reveal limitations in the conventional facilities maintenance process
