BIM + FM Bridging the Divide between AEC & O

Owners need BIM data more than graphics

There’s a lot of BIM data out there…

Integrating BIM & FM helps you provide the data owners need, the way they need it!

BIM + FM Case Studies

FM:BIM Working Group Case Study Xavier University

• A Jesuit, Catholic university in Cincinnati

• Founded 1831 • 7,019 total students • 70 buildings – over 2

million GSF (186K m2)

Xavier’s Hoff Academic Quad and Residence Hall Project • $117M (£76M),

Largest capital projects in schools history

• Added 25% to campus

• 4 new buildings

• BIM used to facilitate design and construction

Physical Plant Office Central Utility Plant

College of Business

Learning Commons

Residence Hall

Xavier’s Objective

• Produce 10 Year Comprehensive Facilities Plan for entire campus

• Forecast facilities capital costs and obtain proper funding to reduce deferred maintenance

Xavier’s Challenges

• Facility information time-consuming or costly to gather

• 2 person years to gather information for facilities plan

I collected the data for 1.5M SF on campus by walking and typing the information into the system, I don’t want to do that again!

Xavier’s BIM Vision

The designers and the contractors already have the information that I need to maintain and manage the buildings why should I have to recreate what has already been accomplished?

Greg Meyer, Xavier Facilities

Room finish information from design and

construction phases….

Is linked to lifecycle data (expected life,

replacement cost) in the facility

management system

Xavier’s Results

• Integration of BIM and FM data avoided 4-6 person months of data gathering and entry

• Established BIM deliverable guidelines to further streamline the flow of data for future projects

Xavier’s Lessons Learned

• Project started in 2009 and modeled for design and construction not FM

• Subcontractor’s models developed in various CAD-based tools

– Costly to redo sub’s models to meet Xavier’s needs

• Need to plan LOD and model quality early to effectively integrate with space and maintenance systems

FM:BIM Working Group Case Study MathWorks

• “Accelerating the pace of engineering and science”

• Global software company headquartered in Natick, MA – In business since

1984 – Privately Held

• Over 2,100 staff worldwide

MathWork’s Apple Hill 4 Project

• 4 story 180,000 sf (17K m2) corporate facility • 460 offices, 300 person cafeteria, monumental

stair atrium and various support spaces • Anticipated Delivery date: December 2012

MathWork’s Challenges

• Maintenance management system not fully implemented

• Difficult to find time to properly catalog and inventory building assets

• Highly technical building comes with a lot of information

MathWork’s BIM Vision

• Require BIM deliverables for project

• Leverage the data and information in the models to populate space and asset system

Mathwork’s BIM Process

• Created detailed BIM deliverable guide • Made BIM data management and quality a topic

in coordination meetings • Actively involved in the project – throughout the

various phases

Rooms Modeled for Design

Can Be Used for Space Management

Detailed BIM Deliverable Requirements

Detailed BIM Data

Ready for Maintenance Planning

MathWork’s Lessons Learned

• Room numbers matter! Communicate your numbering and naming conventions early.

• BIM/Data savvy project leads (AEC and owner) are key

• The owner/FM needs to be involved to help resolve issues and keep the project moving

• Look for BIM-Savvy subs if possible – they may be the creators of much of the asset data

Summary: Moving to Lifecycle BIM

• Decide what you need to track: BIM Deliverable Guidelines

• Address legal/contractual challenges • Know your team and various players BIM

maturity • Create BIM templates
