BIM implementation in building maintenance management

Building Information Modelling (BIM) implies a multi dimensional information model of building, based on fundamental 3D model, which enables information sharing among project participants during the whole life cycle of a building. Integration of building maintenance and BIM is proposed for the purpose of a more efficient management of building maintenance activities. This paper analyses the benefits of BIM implementation in building maintenance, as well as its limitations. The integration of BIM and automation is proposed to enhance traditional building maintenance methods. Finally, a comprehensive BIM implementation strategy for the building maintenance phase is defined.
