BIM Uses (aligned to the Owner’s strategic goal)
Owner’s strategic goal
“Capture the information required for long-term maintenance and operation of the building, ensuring all assets, systems, and spatial data are accurate and complete.”

The BIM Uses table below supports this goal by focusing on coordination, verification, and reliable operational handover.

Complete the table by filling in all highlighted smart fields. Use the first two rows as a guide and ensure your entries align with the Owner’s goal.
BIM Use Purpose (why this BIM use is needed) Potential value (what it enables for the Owner) Information required (high level)
3D Coordination / Clash Detection To identify and resolve clashes between architectural, structural, and MEP systems before construction.
  • Reduces rework and site conflicts
  • Improves coordination quality
  • Supports reliable construction and handover
 Federated discipline models, coordinated geometry, agreed naming and classification.
Record / As-Built Modeling To capture verified asset and spatial information that reflects what was actually constructed.
  • Provides reliable data for FM and maintenance
  • Supports long-term asset management
  • Reduces information loss at handover
 Verified models, asset attributes, locations, serial numbers, warranties.

Why this matters

Defining BIM Uses keeps information requirements purpose-driven, not model-driven. Each BIM Use clarifies why information is needed, what value it provides, and what must be delivered — helping the project team align models, data, and verification to the Owner’s goals.
