share within the construction industry. We focus on the future of the
industry and the future of the firms we serve.
• BIM Integration Services
• 3D Model Coordination, Fabrication and BIM->FAB Translation
• BIM/Fabrication Implementation, Mentoring & Support
• BIM Content Creation, Management & Distribution (BIMXchange)
• BIM to FM product YouBIM
BIM to FM – Existing Process
Today most owners follow (3) types of Facility Management
Strategies:
• Some have a collection of drawings, files and electronic data
that they try to reference to find information about their facility.
• Some employ spreadsheets with data
that has been entered manually and
updated infrequently.
• Some employ CMMS and CAFM
solution where most all information
is manually entered into such products
like Maximo and Archibus.
BIM to FM – Existing Process Issues
What is inherently the problem with these forms of Facility Management?
Inefficiency & Waste caused
by poor interoperability of
data
BIM to FM – Existing Process Issues
The two studies that are used for Return on Investment benchmarks and are agreed
upon owners who have actually implemented BIM to FM agree on is the 2004 study
report the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) titled Cost Analysis of
Inadequate Interoperability in U.S. Capitol Facilities Industry.
• This study reports 12.4% additional cost per year for the poor Interoperability or $0.23/sf
• The report summarizes that excessive time is spent locating and verifying specific facility and
project information from previous activities.
• For the owner who uses Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) or
Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) system data is all manually entered so no data
from preceding activities carried through digitally.
• This report also showed that the owner represents over 60% of the cost over the whole life
cycle because of lost information through the process and mostly during the Operations and
Maintenance.
• In addition there is a Sandia National Labs 2010 study that estimates savings of $100 per work
order
BIM to FM – What is ROI Today?
There are three main ROI gains today from BIM to FM:
• Reduced Costs – Accurate and complete data ready immediately when the building
is completed which lowers data capture and O&M costs.
• Integrated Systems – Data bridged from BIM can now populate and integrate with
CMMS, CAFM, BAS, security and energy monitoring systems. You also have the
advantages of a 3D environment for knowing more information about the areas
before you service them.
• Improves Performance – Now with complete and accessible FM data allows for
faster diagnosis of problems and fewer equipment failures. This in turn helps you FM
team do more with less.
BIM to FM – What are the Challenges?
Where are the traditional FM Software's?
• The real truth is that traditional CMMS and CAFM solutions have no true tie to BIM
out of the box.
• The software companies also have no way to truly handle 3D visualization from the
model.
• Most of the software companies when engaged in integration projects are unable tell
us what is the true data that they require or that would be useful from the model.
• This is often times because these traditional products are asset management
programs very few building engineers even use the product even if implemented.
BIM to FM – What are the Challenges?
Lack of education to the Owner into the BIM lifecycle process
Owners are not aware of how BIM information will be delivered to them in order
to get it into their FM process.
If an owner has no FM product today then
the owner needs to also chose a product
which makes it more difficult and complex.
Owners know that 85% of their portfolio is
in something other than BIM and so BIM to FM is
still a fraction of their decision. There has to be a
comprehensive plan for the owner to deal with both.
BIM to FM – What are the Challenges?
BIM Execution Plans – Where is the Owner/FM?
• Many who make these plans are really only looking at one or two phases of the AEC
Lifecycle and lack overall knowledge of what actually happens in the full lifecycle or
address the FM deliverable.
• The reason each owner will need their own Complete BIM Execution Plan is because
if their end deliverable is not clearly defined and planned there is absolutely no ROI
for them.
• Complete BIM Execution Plans have to under promise and over deliver. BIM will
evolve but stay with achievable goals. Failure to deliver to owners will compromise
the opportunity for them to drive the industry.
BIM to FM – What are the Challenges?
Lack of Quantity, Quality and Portability of BIM Content
• Manufactures have been slow to develop content and some have gone
down the wrong path of developing the content without the required
quality and fidelity.
• Additionally different BIM platforms are
not convertible.
• Lack of standards and software
interoperability hinder the pass-through
of content data to each phase of the
lifecycle.
BIM to FM – What are the Challenges?
Messaging of COBie and IFC mixed
• The COBie standards and IFC is a lowest common denominator approach. There
needs to be better approach and collaboration in the industry. Software API’s?
BIM to FM – What are the Challenges?
Lack of true Platform Agnostic Solutions
• Owners need data. For them to be tied to many platforms is not a solution. For
owners who own their portfolio for decades they should always have data NOT
platform files.
• The 4D/5D products on the
market do not directly pass
data to FM products.
Emerging Technologies
Cloud Computing
• Cloud Computing is where
most products are being developed
with this in mind.
• The Cloud provides a flexible external
solution for hosting and processing.
• Some IT professionals are still against
these technologies due to security
concerns. The majority have
embraced these technologies.
Emerging Technologies
Mobile & RFID Technology
• Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless noncontact system
that transmits information from a tagged object to a scanning device.
• RFID offers facilities managers a means
to tag and track assets.
• The other advantage is to tag assets behind
walls, under floors, or above ceilings while
combining mobile technologies can help
facility managers see these items while in
the space.
Emerging Technologies
Augmented Reality (VR)
• Augmented Reality is already being
Implemented using geospatial
Information to associate model,
location and equipment.
Emerging Technologies
Energy & Sensor Technology
• Another large ROI for the owner is real-time energy analysis for the
knowledge of actual vs. design in their building.
• To watch energy usage to predict
when equipment might have to be
serviced or adjusted.
• As sensors improve energy software
is looking at gaining real-time
feedback
YouBIM – BIM to FM
YouBIM extracts all BIM graphics and meta data into a platform agnostic database
and cloud based FM solution.
BIM and Fabrication Models
YouBIM – BIM to FM
Once all the unique data sources are all
married together inside the YouBIM
cloud, this data is ported over to the
owners Asset Management platform of
choice. Traditionally this process would
take weeks of effort and was seriously
error prone due to the amount of people
involved but with this process it
happens seamlessly with a very limited
amount of "human" time involved at all.
Translation of Data from YouBIM to Asset
Management platform(s) (Maximo, Archibus, etc.)
YouBIM – BIM to FM
Once YouBIM is deployed with the
online navigation of the facility,
connecting the virtual representative
geometry inside the navigation model to
the actual equipment the geometry
represents allows the facility operation
technicians to remotely access that
equipment's controls to inspect it's
performance or to make adjustment all
from their desk.
Tie BMS system to YouBIM to associate 3D
model to existing BMS functionality

Quick Facts:
Case Study – MaineGeneral Hospital
I asked Adam what did he and his colleagues planned to annually save from utilizing
BIM to FM?
“Based on national studies, MaineGeneral expects to save between $185,000 &
$225,000/yr. vs. manual paper workflow”
I asked Adam what he would tell an owner who might think BIM to FM is not worth the
trouble?
“As far as owners who don’t think BIM to FM is worth it, I would say to start within
this time period is your best chance to capture the data and if you don’t it will take
far more time and effort to acquire later.”
Answers from Adam P. Troidl
Case Study – MaineGeneral Hospital
“Other intangible ROI is by giving mobile technology to frontline staff, such as
electricians and mechanics, we can allow them to stay more autonomous out in this
large footplate and hopefully solve problems faster and better without returning to
the shop. Empowering them with the BIM to FM tool should increase our customer
satisfaction, especially with a new building where everything is new.
With the geometry piece, if you’ve bothered to invest in a coordinated model during
design and construction it is senseless to throw all that work away and not harvest it
and keep it updated, otherwise you are forever fighting not knowing where things
are until you climb above a ceiling to investigate.
Most of the money spent on a building is over its lifecycle after construction and
most of the money spent inside a building is on people, so making your people more
effective in caring for the building is the most responsible approach.”
Answers from Adam P. Troidl (Cont.)
Recommendations
• Architects, Engineers, Designers, & Contractors should engage Owners to
develop a complete lifecycle solution.
• Continue on the track of a National BIM Standard to drive adoption.
• Focus on BIM Integration and understanding from a top down approach.
• Select and engage consultants that are able to assist the owner as a third party
and does not have a stake in the project.
For BIM to FM Success:
