Carrying BIM into facility management requires effective documentation

Second part of FacilityCare series focuses on needed documentation during construction process


Carrying building information modeling (BIM) into facility management requires effective documentation during the construction process, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.

The second part of this BIM series focuses on what is the needed documentation during a healthcare construction process.

The general contractor should require subcontractors, fabricators, suppliers and manufacturers to submit all models to the contractor in 2D and/or 3D DWF formats. These should be updated after each project coordination meeting or as changes occur in the field during construction, the article said.

Owners should ask for a list of required elements to be used as “as-maintained” documentation for the insertion of data into the integrated workplace management system (IWMS) for day-to-day management.
