Application of Building Information Modelling to Campus Facility Management
Description

BIM is vigorously changing all phases of buildings’ life cycle, from strategic planning, design, construction, operation and decommission. Building operation, which is the longest and most significant phase, has it’s own nuances. Professional roles are different from other phases since architects and civil engineers are often replaced by managers and MEP (Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) professionals, focus is on maintenance, cost reduction and profitability and user comfort. BIM, as a natural tool for building information storage and use, is a natural part of a Facility Management System.

We work on the development of BIM platforms for the management of large, multi-building facilities, such as education campus or hospitals, where scale, geolocalization and visual communication render traditional methods inefficient. We work with Facility Management platforms that link with and take advantage of BIM models and we employ Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies to enhance and visualize facilities’ data.
