BIM for Facility Managers

The International Facility Management Association (IFMA) and IFMA Foundation are proud to announce publication of BIM for Facility Managers, edited by Paul Teicholz. Building information modeling (BIM) is the practice of creating and managing the digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. These building information models are powerful resources to inform decisions about a facility at all stages of its life-cycle from construction to demolition.

 

IFMA defines facility management as a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology.

Geared towards building owners, developers, and managers, this text covers how building information management (BIM) complements facility management (FM) systems to achieve significant lifecycle advantages. It includes coverage of the guidelines for BIM in FM as developed by owners such as the General Services Administration, the COBie2 (BIM document standard) used to collect and communicate facility equipment information, and a list of software for BIM/FM integration. It also offers six real-life case studies including the Texas A&M Health Science Center, the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and the State of WI Facilities.
