BIM integration with CAFM systems

The advantage of integrating BIM with FM is that key data regarding rooms, equipment types, systems, finishes, zones, etc. can be extracted from BIM and do not have to be re-entered into the underlying FM system.

For example, the COBie file can be extracted from the BIM model and then imported into the CMMS. This avoids data entry costs and generates higher quality data.

We create integration solutions with the OpenDataBIM converter to produce high quality data. This data is transferred to the CMMS system either through COBie import or through direct integration with BIM. As equipment is installed, equipment serial numbers can be written and entered into the COBie data. The result is a fully populated FM system that can be used when the building is commissioned.

BIM integration with CAFM systems is necessary if you:

Increased workforce efficiency due to better information availability

Reduced utility costs (energy and water) due to improved maintenance data

Reduced equipment failures that cause emergency repairs and impact tenants

Better management of parts and consumables inventory and better tracking of asset and equipment history

Longer equipment life is supported by more PM usage rather than emergency maintenance

Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) and improved customer service

Where did BIM come from and why?

Where did BIM come from and why? By the early 2000s, the mechanical engineering industry already had advanced systems for handling data from MCAD software. Due to the competition among the many data handling systems that emerged in the 90s, PDM and PLM solutions became the main platforms, to which the information from CAx (Computer-aided […]

Reasons for the low productivity of the construction industry

Reasons for the low productivity of the construction industry The reason for the lack of productivity growth and the spread of speculation in the construction industry is the quality of the data used by the participants in the construction process. What is the main problem with data in construction? First of all, in the absence […]
