True lifecycle management with BIM and 3D models
Using BIM (Building Information Modelling) for Facilities Lifecycle Management has become a hot topic in the last few years, but it is never implemented in practice. One reason is a lack of understanding of maintenance by design institutes and BIM vendors or related company. Another reason is the lack of suitable technological tools. In this article, we would like to illustrate this integration using the real-life integration made between the Cadmatic design tools and our bluebee® facilities management system.

Experience has shown that the earlier reliability and maintainability are taken into account in a construction project, the better. These should be specifically addressed from the design stage of a project, as illustrated below. This approach, which consists in paying more attention to maintenance earlier in the project, to reduce future operation cost, differs markedly from that of Chinese engineering and construction companies.

Transition from construction to maintenance represents a major challenge in the Chinese market, more particularly when it comes to documentation for Operation & Maintenance (O&M). While building owners find it very difficult to obtain real as-built drawings, equipment documentation is also lacking and maintenance guidelines impossible to find. As a result, FM teams are often left to improvise their maintenance activity, relying on the experience of their team members.
