Research on BIM – FM related topics

Volk, et al 2014

BIM in FM: Case Manchester Town Hall Complex

Delay: 4 weeks Man hours: 14

1 day =- 96% 3 =- 79%

Conclusions from the case study • Significant reductions in the man hours (-57...-80%) • Because of relatively small tasks individual savings per task quite small (8...13 hours), but because of repetitive nature of maintenance operations significant annual savings • Main benefit is huge reduction in wating time to fix the problems (-96...-99%) Reduced disruption and inconvenience for the users helping to avoid reputational damage • BIM has significant, measurable value in operational FM

Potential Value in BIM for Facilities Management As-Built/Record Model

Energy Management

Building Maintenance

Asset Management

Space Management

Use as a reference model for renovation and refurbishment. Including historical documentation.

Facilitate the analysis and comparisons of various energy alternatives to reduce environmental impacts and operating costs.

Develop a maintenance plan by virtually analyzing components and systems.

Access and maintenance of operations and maintenance documentation for building systems.

Easily identify and allocate space for appropriate building use

Ability for embedding future data based upon renovation or equipment replacement

Compare measured and predicted energy performance in Operating Building

Increase productivity response to service requests by visualizing location of equipment/system.

Capture service life and maintenance costs for long term planning.

Increase the efficiency of transition planning and management

Verification of requirements at turnover (e.g avoid turnover dispute)

Perform energy simulations over operations to optimize performance

Facilitate the development and implementation of a Maintenance Program

Allow to perform an inventory of assets for financial purposes including historical and up to date data.

Proficiently track the use of current space and resources

Provide owner accurate information for further analysis with other BIM uses

(Becerik-Gerber 2012;Messner 2014;Kiviniemi 2013)

Assist in planning future space needs for the facility

Why is BIM not used as a standard practice in the FM industry? BIM

Challenges

Focus of the project

Technical/Process

Organizational

Value Proposition

Unclear roles and responsibilities for loading data into the model or databases and maintaining the model

Cultural barriers toward adopting new technology

Lack of strategic direction for FM (value for the organization)

Lack of interoperability Diversity in BIM and FM software tools.

Organization-wide resistance: need for investment in infrastructure, training, and new software tools

Lack of clarity regarding FM BIM assembly. Lack of clarity regarding what problem BIM is solving.

Lack of effective collaboration between project stakeholders for modeling and model utilization.

Undefined fee structures for additional scope

The management is missing from the model: i.e. performance reports that lead to continuous improvement, early warning systems, supplier lead times

Necessity yet difficulty in software vendor’s involvement, including fragmentation among different vendors, competition and lack of common interests

Lack of sufficient legal framework for integrating owners’ view in design and construction

Lack of real-world cases and proof of positive return of investment.
