Utilization the Process BIM – Building Information Modeling in Facility Management

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is increasingly getting the attention of organizations involved in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), as well as the owners and operators of buildings (facility managers and real estate managers). In this context, BIM is a digital model representing physical, technical, and functional characteristics of a building. BIM is a shared data and knowledge platform for all stakeholders involved and provides a basis for decision-making during the entire life cycle of a building: design, build, maintain, operate, and demolish. This article emphasizes that the big advantage is, in the virtual model of the building, all the necessary information centralized in one place, i.e., technical data sheets, assessments, and statements are simply elements of the profit model. This information is very important for facility management (FM) which must have all the information available for a quality and efficient operation of the building.
