A Review of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for Facility Management (FM): Implementation in Public Organisations

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been extensively studied and applied within the AEC sector, particularly in design and construction. In recent years, Facility Management (FM) processes are becoming more digitalised, thus requiring effective BIM-FM integration. BIM adoption in many countries, such as the UK, Italy and Brazil, has been publicly driven. Generally, adoption was targeted at design and construction implementation, with little effort in framing public action for FM implementation. The lack of an integrated approach for BIM-FM implementation resulted in numerous bespoken implementation approaches that mimic the private sector and hinder knowledge exchange. Therefore, there is a need for assessing and amalgamating knowledge about BIM-FM for public organisations. This research aims to leverage knowledge about BIM-FM in the public domain by analysing and classifying articles published between 2010–2021. The research was carried out through a systematic review and comparative thematic analysis investigating the use of BIM for different public buildings (e.g., schools and hospitals) and the implementation for FM purposes. Research results outline prevalent trends and areas of research from three perspectives: people, process and technology. Results show an increasing number of publications about BIM-FM. However, the divide between BIM-FM for public and private organisations is unequal. BIM-FM research for public organisations is still limited and lacks standardisation. This state-of-the-art review makes an incremental contribution to knowledge by identifying progress, gaps and new industry directions on the subject matter.

Analysis of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Autodesk Revit for the Dean Building of the Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Semarang

“…After completing the above steps, the results of calculating the volume of the concrete structural works used in the construction of the Dean of the College of Education, Universitas Negeri Semarang using Autodesk Revit amounted to 502,8 m 3 . 4. Autodesk Revit has many benefits, including the convenience of integrating design into a single application, eliminating deadlocks between designs, more efficient savings in time, cost, and labor, and easier coordination between owners, consultants, and contractors.…”

“…BIM can increase project efficiency, but its implementation was hampered by high initial investment costs, inadequate human resources, low demand, and inadequate technology development [3]. Whereas the implementation of BIM can save material procurement costs and construction projects provide as much as 20% [4].…”

O BIM para gerenciamento, operação e manutenção de facilities: revisão cientométrica e sistemática

“…Além de ser a fase mais cara do ciclo de vida dos empreendimentos [1], o gerenciamento de facilities (FM) é fundamental para garantir a correta funcionalidade do ambiente construído [2]. Dado que a Modelagem da Informação da Construção (BIM) permite aos gerentes de facilities recuperar, analisar e processar informações em um ambiente digitalizado [3], a FM é a área que mais se beneficia da integração ao BIM [4].…”

Facilities Management Business Opportunities

“…It has evolved from the merger of maintenance management and entrepreneurial development to become a defined sector in most nations, accounting for around £115 billion in yearly revenue and employing 3% of the workforce in the UK alone. (Wang, et al, 2022;Pinti et al, 2022).The term facilities management is very depth in terms of reality; the verse role of facilities management in our societies is not explored; facilities management is a medium that has retrofitted verse business opportunities.…”
