Abstract
Building Information Modeling (BIM) within the design and construction industries has grown in popularity, complexity and usefulness. Most large firms have adopted it to some degree. BIM use for facility management by the owner, however, is lagging. This research examines the usefulness of BIM beyond construction and into facility management and operations. A survey was used to establish industry use of virtual modeling and BIM and was followed by the development of a series of case studies that focused on professionals that have implemented BIM beyond construction. The developed case studies verify that construction firms are faced with challenges when they need to turn over the model to facility owners. This study identifies the keys to successful post-construction BIM utilization and how it can be supported by the contractor. This research aims to bridge the gap between the contractor and owner. It will result in the development of a framework to aid contractors in the process of turning over the BIM to the owner for post-construction activities. This paper discusses the proposed framework and research methodology as well as the initial observations resulting from the case study development. The benefits of this type of system, as well as the major obstacles in its creation, are also discussed.
