“…Existing reviews either cover one or two aspects separately or concentrate on few cross-sectional challenges. Functional issues in the areas of maintenance [7,11,12,14,20,45,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] and deconstruction [2,24] are addressed separately and mainly for new buildings (see Table 3). Also, informational [26,27,50,[57][58][59][60], technical [19,31,40,43,45,[61][62][63][64][65][66] and organizational/legal [21,67] issues of BIM use are often examined separately.…”

While BIM processes are established for new buildings, the majority of existing buildings is not maintained, refurbished or deconstructed with BIM yet. Promising benefits of efficient resource management motivate research to overcome uncertainties of building condition and deficient documentation prevalent in existing buildings. Due to rapid developments in BIM research, involved stakeholders demand a state-of-the-art overview of BIM implementation and research in existing buildings. This paper presents a review of over recent 180 publications on the topic. Results show scare BIM implementation in existing buildings yet, due to challenges of (1) high modeling/conversion effort from captured building data into semantic BIM objects, (2) updating of information in BIM and (3) handling of uncertain data, objects and relations in BIM occurring in existing buildings. Despite fast developments and spreading standards, challenging research opportunities arise from process automation and BIM adaption to existing buildings' requirements.

“…In healthcare construction, an example where facility and clinical information are linked to support managing healthcare facilities was presented in Lucas et al (2013). Innovative engagement processes as part of a BIM based solution were used to enhance decision-making in healthcare facility management (Irizarry et al, 2014), while a healthcare related problem scenario where BIM and healthcare specialist software ActivityDatabase are used concurrently on refurbishment projects was presented by Krystallis et al (2013).…”

“…[27] It has been reported that the potential benefits of using BIM in FM seem to be such as valuable 'as-built' (heritage) documentation, maintenance of warranty and service information, quality control, assessment and monitoring, energy and space management, emergency management or retrofit planning [23,28,29,30]. Decontamination or deconstruction processes could also benefit from structured up-to-date building information to reduce errors and financial risk, e.g.…”
