“…To fill the gap of model availability for existing buildings and enable the creation of information models useful for FM, a research was undertaken to develop a new framework. The RetroBIM framework is a new methodology envisioned to enable the creation of information models for every typology of existing buildings and addressing the different requirements of breadth and depth of information (Carbonari et al, 2016). The framework is based on an iterative process with increasing level of information details that will allow the creation of a model tailored to the building, its use, the management strategies and the users.…”

Purpose The purpose of the presented research is to investigate which tasks among the ones performed during a buildings’ operational phase are perceived to be more inefficient and to investigate if the information within a building information model (BIM) can help improve task efficiency. Design/methodology/approach The Digital Built Britain (BIM Level 3) aims to extend BIM into operation by promoting a life cycle approach for buildings through an integrated digital environment. Nevertheless, the main focus of both BIM Level 2 and Level 3 is mainly on design, construction and hand over; therefore, the current understanding and use of BIM for a buildings’ occupancy phase is still limited. Current literature and research focusing on BIM and building management show only marginal use of the technology, especially in terms of how BIM can be used beside for maintenance. Findings The paper presents the results of an online questionnaire survey aimed to ascertain the level of perceived inefficiencies of operational tasks. Through the analysis of Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data models, the research identifies the data set needed to improve the efficiency of the tasks and presents a structured implementation plan to identify the information that should be prioritized in the model implementation. Originality/value The study presents part of a methodology developed by the author aimed to implement a BIM model for existing buildings including information that would support the management of the single facility/portfolio. While other studies have considered BIM and the operational phase, especially in relation to asset maintenance, this study has focused on understanding how the information included in the model can improve task efficiency.

“…At the same time, the growth of cities and the demand for an increased standard of living under the conditions met during a climate change era impose -maybe now, more than ever -the efficient maintenance of numerous structures (Yin et al, 2020). Such efficient Operation & Maintenance (O&M) programs can be successfully implemented with the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM), which constitutes a very promising tool for Building Maintenance Management (BMM) (Yin et al, 2020;Falorca, 2019;Carbonari et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2014). Nevertheless, even though BIM's potential for O&M is acknowledged for many years by facility operators, there is strong evidence that is it still unexploited due to several limitations, and challenges (Falorca, 2019;Gao and Pishdad-Bozorgi, 2019;Ismail, 2019;Liu and Issa, 2014).…”

Efficient management of the built environment is a top priority globally. In light of climate change and funding deficits, and considering the huge stock of buildings and infrastructure, especially in urban centers, the needs and demands induced can be successfully met through effective and efficient maintenance of existing built assets, rather than building new ones. This is the reason behind the continuous refinement and update of operation and maintenance policies and programs in a process of addressing technological advances in the construction industry to render maintenance as the primary approach to achieving the upgrade of the built environment. Yet, a fast transition to modern maintenance management systems requires an understanding by the construction industry of their mode of implementation and of the benefits involved. This paper contributes to this goal by presenting clear and easy to replicate examples of applying Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the context of the condition-based maintenance strategy. First, the dominant maintenance strategies in the construction industry, including preventive, predictive, reliability-centered, corrective, etc. are presented and explored in relation to their efficiency for construction projects. Then BIM technology is applied to showcase the implementation of condition-based maintenance for improving the energy profile of a building. A BIM model of a simple residential building generated in the context of this research is used as a basis for respective energy models addressing three different scenarios of interventions in thermal insulation and door and window frames. The scenarios are evaluated in terms of energy cost reductions and building's useful life prolongation concerning the energy efficiency aspect. The paper presents to practitioners in the construction industry -mainly designers and operators -a clear, straightforward, and replicable method of designing BIM-based maintenance for buildings that highlight issues of concern and facilitates understanding of the mode of implementation, thus enhancing in real terms the industry's efficiency in applying technological advancements in every day's practice.

“…According to Kelly et al (2013), a BIM visualised database can improve the effectiveness of work order execution in terms of speed, access to data, and location of interventions. Additionally, according to Carbonari et al (2016), the knowledge contained in the BIM model can lead to a cycle of learning, greater comprehension, and continuous development throughout the building facility life cycle. BIM can therefore serve as a data bank for all building phases, including the operation and maintenance phase.…”

The usage of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Facility Management (FM) sector will significantly speed up the design and construction phases. However, most facility managers continue to use the traditional paper-based approach to manage facility maintenance and operations, which includes designs and spreadsheets. The goal of this research is to pinpoint the factors that affect BIM's acceptability in the FM sector. Six factors, including organisational culture, individual competency, perceived usability, perceived ease of use, individual intention, and organisational aim in the context of facilities management services, were found. Prior to that, it is necessary to determine whether the theory supporting the adoption of BIM in facility management is valid and reliable. This study used an abductive methodology that blends qualitative and quantitative techniques. 30 respondents completed a set of questionnaires as part of the study's pilot test. Based on the findings of the pilot study, it can be demonstrated that the high degree of Cronbach's Alpha values is accepted, demonstrating the validity and reliability of the theory supporting the adoption of BIM in facility management and its high degree of internal consistency. This study demonstrates that there are important factors that affect how well BIM is received in the facilities management sector. All the six factors have a significant impact indicating that the theory underlying the adoption of BIM in facility management is valid and reliable and has a high degree of internal consistency.
