“…The research disqualifies the pure quantitative approach due to the lack of established knowledge on BIM in FM and value of facilities information (Bosch et al, 2015). Therefore, priority was given to adopt the interpretative approach to mine the data in detail.…”

ISSN 0969-9988 LJMU Research Online Enhancing the Value of Facilities Information Management (FIM) through BIM integrationPurpose: Building Information Modelling (BIM) provides a robust platform for information management in built environment facilities. However, one of the consequences of the limited application of BIM in facilities information management (FIM) is that the potential value gain through the integration of as-built information during the operations management process has had limited exploration in current practice. This paper attempts to explore the potential impact of BIM to enhance the value of Facilities Information Management.Design/methodology/approach: A detailed literature review was undertaken to identify BIM application in a construction context, and to develop a framework to investigate the value of information. An interpretative approach was adopted for data collection and analysis. 14 semi-structured interviews were conducted with construction industry professionals to identify how value of FIM can be enhanced through BIM integration. The interview data were analysed using open and selective coding. Findings:The findings confirm that information exchange between the construction and facilities management phases of a project are important in terms of efficient and effective maintenance of a facility as well as optimising the design task. With these promising benefits, BIM is an efficient mechanism to facilitate construction information exchange. However, there is an uncertainty over the optimum level of information that ought to be on a BIM model for facilities management purposes. The relationship between different aspects of value is a starting point to filter the required information for each individual project. In contrast, limited awareness of value of information exchange and the potential of BIM enabled FIM during construction is noted.Research limitations/implications: The information exchange considered within this investigation was limited to two key phases of the facility lifecycle, namely construction and facilities management (in-use). Practical implications:The findings bring insight into an unseen aspect of facilities management information needs that should be given priority in upcoming BIM developments. Also, it draws attention to how value is concerned in a daily basis beyond monetary terms.Originality/value: The investigation of value enhancement through BIM integration in particular to facilities information management and ongoing research with new value dimensions.

“…Recently, there has been growing interest in extending the use of BIM to the operation stage, usually for the benefit of institutional clients who remain involved in the use of their buildings in a technical or financial sense (Bosch, Volker, & Koutamanis, 2015;Love, Matthews, Simpson, Hill, & Olatunji, 2014). BIM helps to perform additional tasks of registering.…”

User participation is a key element in decision processes concerning the accommodation of dynamic organisations such as schools. This article addresses the discrepancy between the perspectives of the architects and engineers, as the makers of school buildings, and school management, teachers and students, as the users of the buildings, and proposes that productive and efficient participatory design of school buildings requires appropriate information tools. Visual information technology tools, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), already used in interaction between architects, engineers, consultants, etc., are proposed to support school managers, teachers and students in participating in all stages of the life cycle of their school building.The proposed use of BIM is compared to a retrospective analysis of a Dutch school which realised a completely new secondary education building. The article concludes with recommendations to increase the impact of visual information technology tools such as BIM in the design of school buildings in Europe and beyond.

“…It could be argued that the number of stakeholders can be reduced through delegation: local authorities can be assumed to represent the interests of citizens, demolition firms could be seen as the front end of a C&DW processing chain that incorporates waste processing enterprises etc. However, the relation between authorities and citizens is significant in terms of throughout the lifecycle of a building, with significant benefits to owners and operators [30]. In urban mining studies, BIM has already been identified as an appropriate framework for information management.…”

In recent years there has been growing interest in urban mining from various environmental and economic perspectives. Materials hidden in buildings are attractive alternatives to raw ones, while building activities are responsible for a large share of waste. The paper is a summary of findings from an analysis of possibilities for urban mining in Amsterdam, focusing on prospecting for metals in residential buildings. Both global literature and interviews with Dutch demolition experts suggest that performance in metal recovery from buildings is as high as it can get. However, estimation of metal content in buildings and of waste processing rates is far from reliable, accurate and precise enough to support such claims or identify possibilities for further improvement, especially in relation to processes of urban and real-estate redevelopment and rejuvenation. To improve understanding and embedding of urban mining in these processes, we propose (a) a BIM-based information infrastructure that connects to municipal and owner information processes, so as to progressively collect all relevant information, allow for validation, verification and localization of valuable resources, as well as identify opportune moments for their extraction, and (b) policies that overcome the fragmented institutional character of the building sector, making information sharing a consequence of networking based on trust and shared values, driven by both demand and soft incentives relating to circularity.
