“…However, as previously mentioned, the existing exchange formats are currently insufficient for BIM-FM. For example, Patacas et al [5] compared IFC 4 and COBie entities with the asset register requirements given in BS 8210:2012 [63] and found that, of the twenty-two asset register requirements, IFC and COBie were not able to support ten and seven of the twenty-two requirements, respectively. Whilst they were able to overcome this issue with custom 'Property Sets', they experienced further issues with IFC entities which were then incompatible with the IFC exporter.…”

“…One approach has involved the creation of digital FM systems, which are now used extensively. Popular systems for existing buildings can typically be categorised as Asset Information Models (AIMs) [5,6], Computer-Aided Facilities' Management 2 of 24 (CAFM) [7][8][9] and Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMSs) [10][11][12][13]. Often, these systems will be spreadsheet-based.…”

“…Commercial value-functionalities allowing cost saving and cost avoidance; • Technology value-functionalities not typical elsewhere including increased connectivity and data visualisation capacity; • User value-benefits to the end user regarding how to access data and undertake tasks; [5,10,47], also suggesting that there is management value to BIM-FM as a fully enriched BIM model would provide a structured single source of asset information. Likewise, Gurevich and Sacks [48] undertook a three-year study of BIM adoption by public construction clients.…”

Defined digital Facilities’ Management (FM) systems will contribute to the realisation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. Of the available digital FM systems, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for FM, herein referred to as BIM-FM, is the least developed. Where BIM-FM varies from existing digital FM tools is its advanced 3D visualisation capabilities. A semi-structured literature review is undertaken to assess the current implementation of BIM-FM and identify opportunities to engender its increased adoption. This paper is part of an ongoing piece of research aimed at defining a standard methodology for the application of BIM to historically significant structures, otherwise known as Historic BIM (HBIM). Two existing approaches to BIM-FM, current and developing, are outlined. The potential value BIM-FM can provide according to the literature is discussed but there exists minimal practical evidence to justify these claims. Barriers to its adoption are discussed, with a key underlying barrier found to be a lack of defined user requirements. Consequently, functional, modelling and information requirements established within the literature are identified, and existing attempts at realising the requirements are discussed. Six information categories and two functional requirements are identified. It is theorised that the tendency to utilise simplified geometric models for FM is primarily due to software and practical limitations as opposed to actual end user needs, and it is suggested that this should be investigated further in future work. Attempts at realising BIM-FM user requirements using other advanced technologies, primarily Digital Twins, are investigated and found to be an area of increasing commonality. A new conception of BIM-FM is proposed.

“…A correlation was observed between the interviewee's BIM and IoT awareness and engagement levels and the FM sector initiatives towards digital transformation. In general, benefits of these solutions for FM performance described in the literature were emphasized by the participants, such as navigation and visualization of building components characteristics in BIM models for diagnosis and repair, thus reducing the period of disruption [24,54,55], prediction of problems (e.g., monitoring of facilities performance particularly in places with no visibility or human presence), space management (e.g., information on room occupation), and emergency management (e.g., information on users' location and evacuation routes [22]).…”

The digital transformation of operation and maintenance (O&M) activities has been guiding the facilities management sector towards a strategic role focused on the performance of businesses and sustainable use of natural resources over assets’ lifecycles. Despite the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as building information modelling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT), demonstrating potential for improving such practices, evidence related to its implementation process from an FM professional’s perspective is still much needed to unlock billions of USD trapped in inefficient and fragmented processes. This research seeks such evidence by characterising current and potential applications of BIM and IoT-based solutions for FM, specifically on maintenance services. This exploratory research is based on a multiple case study where three universities’ FM sectors were investigated. Data collection and analysis included semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and inductive content analysis. By considering technology as a scaffold to enhance human activities, the investigation provided a deep understanding of technological, procedural, and policy issues in implementing BIM and IoT-based solutions in FM activities and their related benefits and limitations. Clarifying the necessary resources for such implementation could support FM sectors and organizations in justifying human and financial investments and planning the gradual digital transformation of services.

PurposeThe oil and gas industry form the main resource of economy in Iraq and constructing any project in such sectors requires a huge amount of expenses due to the unique requirements that oil and gas facilities required in such projects. Therefore, adopting an appropriate technological approach such as building information modeling (BIM) which is unfortunately not adopted yet in Iraq is essential to successfully deliver these projects. Thus, this paper aimed to introduce BIM to Iraq through Basra Oil Company (BOC) which is one of the biggest public oil and gas companies in Iraq.Design/methodology/approachThe related literature of journals articles, conference proceedings and published reports have been reviewed. As a result, firstly: a hypothesis has been derived that is “If Basra Oil Company (BOC) adopts and applies BIM approach instead of the 2D approach currently used to manage its projects, the company can overcome several constraints in managing its projects that associated with such 2D traditional approach”; secondly: homogenous, consistence and reliable web-based questionnaire has been designed as its Cronbach’s alpha equal to 0.897 and 0.711 for BIM benefits and barriers, respectively. This questionnaire distributed to the BOC related professionals to test such hypothesis by investigating their readiness and accepting of BIM approach and to rank BIM barriers based on five-point Likert scale.FindingsBased on the analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 of 115 responses, almost 50% of the respondents had experience 11–15 years, while 22.6% had experience more than 15 years in oil and gas industry construction projects. Those participants were from diverse engineering majors that are: 4.3% Architectural Engineers, 31.3% Civil Engineers, 20% Mechanical Engineers, 22.6% Electrical Engineers and 21.7% from other engineering majors. The respondents’ departments demography was 16.5% of design department, 12.2% of construction department, 20.9% of Project Management Department, 12.2% of Maintenance department, 4.3% of HSE Department, 13% of Production Department and 20.9% of “Other Department.” The study resulted in 1: accepting BIM approach to be an alternative of current 2D-traditional approach used by the company to manage and construct its projects, since mean of collected data is (4.4332), Kruskal–Wallis H test significance values were 0.398 and 0.372; and ANOVA test significance values were 0.433 and 0.599 among Engineering Majors groups and Company’s Department groups, respectively. 2: Disclosed and sequenced BIM barriers in the company based on their criticality. 3: verifying reliably how BIM attributes are important to oil and gas construction projects in Iraq, 4: the company top management and company policies are the most critical potential factors to hinder or adopt and implement BIM in the company, 5: while cost is not seen a critical barrier to implement BIM in the oil and gas sector.Research limitations/implicationsThe limitation of this study is the excluding of decision makers of BOC, thus more profound future studies need to be conducted where top management and decision makers are involved, particularly the present study demonstrated that support of company top management is the most critical factor which can help the company to adopt (BIM).Originality/valueThe study concludes that BIM approach is valuable for managing projects in oil and gas sector in Iraq and identify the originality in output by using the research method. This noble study provides a leverage for enhanced research to adopt and implement building information modeling (BIM) in Iraq as the study originally demonstrates benefits and identifies the critical barriers in BIM implementation to push the boundaries toward adopt Digitalization and reduce CO2 emission in Iraqi oil and gas sector. The study can be used as evidence and platform to encourage professionals and practitioners to present more sophisticated tools of BIM in the oil and gas industry, especially for facility and operation management. These findings achieved via oil and gas experts, and it is first time to achieve such findings from a case study in Iraqi oil and gas sector.
