Abstract :

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly being used construction projects, and it demonstrates its ability to improve the construction industry's performance, However, its application in facility management still moderate and has not yet reached the potential and expected full use. The most common problem facing facility managers is the ability to access and manage the information. Information is the key to operate existing buildings and most importantly is the ability to collect, analyze, and handle it in an appropriate manner to be used for the facility management phase and the entire building life. However, there is insufficient understanding of the correct standards, processes and policies to be followed in the submission and management of such data, a significant lack of professionals and lack of knowledge of their software. This study aims to explore the value of BIM and the challenges affecting its application in FM, as well as address the information required for effective facilities management in existing buildings and the challenges to maintain a continuous update of BIM information in FM. The research methodology is based on analytical method: Using a questionnaire to a sample of staff and engineers in facilities management to detect the effects of applying BIM to facility management. The research demonstrated the importance of creating a BIM model for existing buildings and its effects to improve operations and maintenance, the need to increase BIM practices in engineering organizations. and indicated the most important benefits of the BIM for facility management application as: increase the efficiency of operation and maintenance staff's access to data, improve future operation design and preventive maintenance, facilitate decision-making throughout the operation and maintenance phase, and finally reduce costs and time while increase the quality of procedures.
