BIM Data Management for Operation and Maintenance

AREP is an international architecture firm providing complete services from programming to facilities management assistance. BIM offers a unique opportunity to work far upstream on the needed level of information for its integration into the digital model, allowing proper configuration of CMMS tools. AREP includes BIM specifications for facility management handover within its standard scope of services. This requirement of specifications also extends to existing buildings. We will present the results of experiments carried out on existing train stations (reverse-engineering) and new train stations that have enabled us to evaluate and quantify the gains expected for facilities management operations.
