TRANSCRIPT
6D- APPLICATION OF BIM IN FM
Richard Archer
Managing Director, DCWC(WA
SPEAKER PROFILE
• Richard Archer is the managing director of Donald Cant Watts Corke (WA) and a national Group Board member of DCWC. He is the BIM functional specialist for DCWC.
• Richard is a quantity surveyor and has over 35 years’ experience in the construction industry in WA in roles that have included quantity surveying, project management, facilities management
and risk management.
• He has a keen interest in BIM and its application in quantity surveying, project management and facilities management, and in particular the potential for BIM to aid in the integration of construction project activities and to enhance opportunities to better manage buildings throughout the operational phases of their lifecycle.
• Richard is a graduate of Curtin University with qualifications in quantity surveying and business. He is a past president and current councilor of the WA chapter of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors.
TRADITIONAL FACILITIES
MANAGEMENT
Facilities Management is an integrated approach to operating, maintaining, improving and adapting the building’s infrastructure in
order to create an environment that strongly supports the primary objects of the organisation.
Traditional Software used for Facilities Management:
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AND BIM
85% of the lifecycle cost of a facility occurs after construction is completed.
The Focus of Implementation of BIM into FM is to create and reuse consistent and useful digital information
BIM offers the Facility Manager accurate timely, relevant information that is easily accessed by all ‘relevant parties’.
Providing access to the same data improving collaboration and communication within the Project Team.
WHERE DOES FM FIT INTO THE
PROCESS?

THE D IN BIM
Building Information Modelling comprises various Dimensions and Levels of Development, or Design (LOD).
Dimension Description Level of Development
3D 3 Dimensional image comprising of the Length x Width x Height.
LOD 100 – 500
4D Time related / programming LOD 300 and above
5D Cost Related / Extracting Quantities LOD 300 and above
6D Facilities Management LOD ‘X’
nD Any other dimensions the BIM operator would like to incorporate into the model.
LOD ‘X’
THE D IN FM The D in FM is not about the LOD, but the Data.

Data
BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING BIM
BIM Creates:
• Easily obtainable information relating to specific objects
• A digital document trail, capturing the developments and transformation of the project
• BIM Enables the Facilities Manager to gain easy access to;
o Equipment Information
o Dynamic Data Warning
o Energy Savings
o Intelligent Fire Escape Routes
o Space Management
o Intuitive Software
o Interoperability
OBSTACLES TO IMPLEMENTING
BIM
• FM Involvement
• FM Objectives
• Legacy Systems
• Software expense and complexities
• Lack of Platform Agnostic Solutions
• Cost/Benefit
• Management and ownership of the model
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Architects, Engineers, Designers, & Contractors
should engage 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:
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.
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.
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
• As sensors improve energy
software is looking at gaining
real-time feedback
3D Printing of Components
Body Parts
Guns Why not FM components?
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
YOUBIM – BIM TO FM
• Incorporation of any changes to facilitate into the model
• Portal for general maintenance and facility management
• Tie BMS system to FM tool • Remote access for tenants,
FM/tech, operations managers etc
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 its performance or to
make adjustment all from their
desk.
Tie BMS system to YouBIM to associate 3D model to existing BMS functionality
