BIM Use: Building Maintenance Scheduling
Building Maintenance Scheduling Maintenance Schedule

A process in which the functionality of the building structure (walls, floors, roof) and equipment serving the building (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) are maintained over the operational life of a facility.

A successful maintenance program will improve building performance, reduce repairs, and reduce overall maintenance costs by leveraging the data within the Record Model.

Potential Value:
  • Plan maintenance activities proactively and appropriately allocate maintenance staff.
  • Track maintenance history directly attached to the digital asset.
  • Reduce corrective maintenance and emergency maintenance repairs.
  • Increase productivity of staff because the physical location of equipment is clearly understood via the 3D model.
  • Evaluate different maintenance approaches based on cost.
  • Justify the need and cost of establishing a reliability-centered maintenance program.
Resources Required:
  • CMMS: Computerized Maintenance Management System linked to Record Model (e.g., IBM Maximo, Archibus).
  • BAS: Building Automation System linked to Record Model.
  • Dashboard: User-friendly interface for building performance info.
  • Design review software to view Record Model.
Team Competencies:
  • Ability to understand and manipulate CMMS and building control systems with Record Model.
  • Ability to understand typical equipment operation and maintenance practices.
  • Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review a 3D Model.
