A building information model (BIM) can be used for commissioning, maintenance, refurbishing and end-of-building-life decisions, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
A properly set up and maintained BIM means space and asset information will be available for facilities use throughout the life of the building.
Integrating the facility management system with a BIM allows the facilities manager to use the information when making decisions about maintenance and refurbishing.
Maintenance data should also flow into the model to maintain consistency as both building information models and facilities management systems are only as good as the data they contain.
