FM BIM - Assets & COBie

We are also able to assist design consultants that are required to submit conformance sets consisting of documents that capture all the changes that occurred during the period of construction. We are able to update the design model and the affected drawings to produce a conformance package that meets the necessary standards.

  One of the key aspects of FM BIM is the digitization of assets. This process involves capturing detailed data about every element within a building, from structural elements and mechanical systems to furniture and fixtures. Each asset is tagged with relevant information, such as manufacturer details, installation dates, maintenance schedules, warranty information, and more. By digitizing assets, facility managers gain unprecedented visibility and control over their building's infrastructure, enabling more efficient maintenance, operations, and decision-making.

Moreover, FM BIM often involves the implementation of COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) standards. COBie is a data exchange format specifically designed to streamline the handover of building information from construction to facility management. It facilitates the transfer of structured data from the construction phase to the operations and maintenance phase, ensuring that critical information is captured and preserved in a format that is easily accessible and usable by facility managers.

By integrating COBie into FM BIM workflows, facility managers can seamlessly transition from the construction phase to the operation and maintenance phase, without losing vital information in the process. COBie-compliant data can include equipment specifications, maintenance schedules, as-built documentation, warranties, and other essential details, all organized in a standardized format for easy reference and retrieval.

Overall, FM BIM empowers facility managers to make data-driven decisions, optimize maintenance workflows, improve building performance, and ultimately enhance the overall lifecycle management of facilities. By digitizing assets and leveraging COBie standards, FM BIM enables more efficient and effective facility management practices, leading to cost savings, operational efficiencies, and better occupant experiences.
