Abstract By offering a powerful means to retrieve information from a virtual model of a facility, building information modeling (BIM) has the potential to save the costs borne by owners and operators during facility operation and maintenance (O&M). Currently, researchers and industry professionals require a state-of-the-art overview of the various BIM-related inventions and innovative applicationsContinue reading “Past, Present, and Future of BIM-Enabled Facilities Operation and Maintenance”

Planning and developing facility management-enabled building information model (FM-enabled BIM)
Highlights Theoretical applications of BIM for facilities management are discussed. A proposed FM-enabled BIM implementation is examined in a real-world pilot project, describing in detail the process of planning and developing BIM for its later use during the handover and operations phases. State-of-the-art BIM-enabled strategies and tools are applied on the project to achieve theContinue reading “Planning and developing facility management-enabled building information model (FM-enabled BIM)”
