Building life-cycle(BLC) consists of three main phases, design, construction, operationand maintenance. Like different manufacturing industry, the AEC-industry too has a keen interest in developing and adopting new technologies to improve project management practices in the design and construction phases of BLC. The purpose of this thesis is to describe how BIM implantation on early stages of the project has effects on the post-construction phase in managing asset and information in operation and maintenance stage of building lifecycle, and Integration of BIM into facility management, it benefits and challenges for stakeholders.
Two main methods are used, Literature review, relative case-study of projects that implement BIM in the early design phase and a case-study of the project in which BIM is integrated into to facility management. The first method is of a conceptual part in which thesis reviewed BIM implementation in three main phases of building lifecycle and its framework, information flow, information management, hence developed concept os then use for analysis in this thesis analysis content. The second method integrates two case studies, NKS Stockholm Sweden and Sydney opera house in Australia.
These two different natures of the project have been used to understand the process of BIM in two different scenarios but having identical objectives to value facility operation and maintenance phase of building lifecycle furthermore post-construction phase is lagging in such development in terms of information management, collaboration, operation, and maintenance. The main area to question in BLC is about data and information flow or transfer/hander over to building to FM/owner, the reason could be described as fragment nature of AEC-industry and fewer priorities towards facility management. Building information modeling is utilization has been increased in recent years in the design and construction phase for a design solution, documentation, collaboration and analyzing construction processes with 3D model.
Analysis and discussion of this thesis based on above two methods but apart from this recent researches and studies in BIM for FM. which enables advance information andassets management in facility management industry though there is some challenges exit in the process but produce opportunities for stakeholders particularly owner. That could be seen in some projects where BIM has been implemented on project keeping.
The conclusion shows that building owners are the best people on the position to realize the importance of postconstruction phase and ensure implement BIM on projects and ask stakeholders to do so. Since teams involve have accepted the demands of the owner to chase the project objectives. The owners will not endeavor any new process or technology like BIM unless they do not perceive the potentials of BIM adoption in cost, time, quality apart from this reliable data.
