There is a paucity of literature that examines building information modelling (BIM) for asset management within the architecture, engineering, construction and owner-operated (AECO) sector. This paper therefore presents a thorough review of published literature on the latest research and standards development that impact upon BIM and its application in facilities management (FM) during the operations and maintenance (O&M) phase of building usage. The purpose is to generate new ideas and provide polemic clarity geared to intellectually challenge readers from across a range of academic and industrial disciplines. The findings reveal that significant challenges facing the FM sector include the need for: greater consideration of longterm strategic aspirations; amelioration of data integration/ interoperability issues; augmented knowledge management; enhanced performance measurement; and enriched training and competence development for facilities managers to better deal with the amorphous range of services covered by FM. Future work is also proposed in several key areas and includes: case studies to observe and report upon current practice and development; and supplementary research related to concepts of knowledge capture in relation to FM and the growing use of BIM for asset management.

“…A building's O&M could reap similar benefits. The extant literature is replete with cases justifying data analysis for O&M; these include: FM Visual Analytics System (FMVAS) for failure [45]; visual approach for maintenance management [16]; objectoriented method of asset maintenance management [30;31]; 'Visualizer'decision-support tool for service life prediction [36]; and knowledge-based BIM (K-BIM) developed on the basis of as constructed information of the facility used to enhance an FM organisation's competitive advantage [15]. However, whilst previous research has predominantly focused upon specific and individual O&M tasks, there remains a notable shortage of holistic guidance that encapsulates all O&M related information for decision making purposes.…”

This research paper reports upon a client driven approach to iteratively develop the FinDD application programming interface (API) plug-in. FinDD integrates building information modelling (BIM) and facilities management (FM) via the novel development and application of totems. Totems visualise rich semantic FM data in a 3D object to extend the use and application of COBie thereby minimising costs incurred by the FM team to update and maintain the as-built BIM. Participatory action research was used to develop the proof of concept and involved a study of two multi-storey, mixed-use educational buildings (with a contract value worth ≥ £150 million UK Sterling) located within Birmingham, UK. The lead researcher worked for the client's estates department and was instrumental in liaising with members of the project management team, synthesising their semantic data requirements and developing the FinDD API plug-in for Autodesk Revit. Research findings reveal that whilst FinDD was positively received as a bespoke extension of COBie (that was tailored to specifically meet client needs), further development is required to mitigate software inflexibility and augment automation of semantic data transfer, storage and analysis. Future work will validate the API plug-in via user experience and integrate additional databases such as post occupancy evaluations (POE).

“…BIM has been given many different definitions [17][18][19][20][21]. Most of these sources have defined BIM as a technological tool that represents a building in a three dimensional digital model and a platform where all parties involved can access and exchange information and data concerning the project.…”

“…The BIMKSM approach is used as a visual platform combining a BIM approach and web technologies.  Charlesraj [21] developed a conceptual Knowledge-based BIM (K-BIM) framework which combines BIM, KM, and Facility Management (FM) ontologies. This approach is claimed to help to facilitate the more effective management of a facility.…”

Today's construction environment is described as turbulent due to economic crisis, global competition and rapid changes in industry structure. For most of the construction organisations to stay afloat within this environment, organisations have to find new ways to create value for their potential and existing clients. Building information modelling (BIM) technology has been identified by many proponents in this area as the technology that can create value within the supply chain (SC). In the UK, BIM is increasingly being seen not just as a technical process to determine the likely performance of projects but a valuable tool in the mediation between many associated stakeholders with their differing visions, numerous requirements and variation in their expertise, and as a valuable process to promoting learning and managing knowledge. This emerging role presents new and considerable challenges for management of knowledge during its generation, capture and reuse to ensure the meaningful engagement of such stakeholders in the project process. This research will investigate the effective methods for Knowledge Management (KM) to be implemented in the current construction environment, using BIM as a means for managing knowledge and learning. The work presented in this paper will develop a conceptual model of how BIM can be used to manage knowledge in construction project delivery. The paper will describe the proposed conceptual model that uses BIM to manage knowledge in construction project delivery and concludes with suggestions of how this might be implemented in practice, as well as further work that is required in this area.

Knowledge-Based Building Information Modeling (K-BIM) for Facilities Management

Abstract: Knowledge Management (KM) is a business management technique that promises improvedThe proposed conceptual framework, K-BIM is an attempt to advance BIM by way of integrating KM, FM and BIM using ontologies, rather than building a system on a model built using BIM.
