Chapter Chapter 1 in BIM in Real Estate Operations, 2023, pp 1-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the introductory chapter, the importance of the construction, real estate and FM industry is explained in relation to the world economy, sustainability and achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These industries are all undergoing a digital revolution, with BIM being central to the digitalization of the built environment and the processes associated with it. Another important topic is the creation and further development of digital twins. In order to overcome the challenges and exploit the potential benefits of BIM in operation, clients and facility managers as well as other stakeholders must be involved in the BIM process at an early stage. They should develop a clear BIM strategy ensuring that information requirements are aligned with the general corporate strategy. These requirements must be developed on the basis of the know-how of the operational FM teams. In addition, there must be clear plans to transfer BIM data seamlessly to operational IT systems or to exchange them reliably with these systems based on suitable interfaces. This will help to ensure that data will be available throughout the life cycle of buildings for a variety of uses.
