Identifying the Frequency of BIM Model Information Needs to Establish a Database in the Operation Management Phase of High-Rise Buildings

The construction industry must implement new technologies and solutions. The common data environment is an outstanding opportunity for the Investor to enhance the efficacy of their projects during the industrial revolution 4.0. A substantial amount of research has been developed that investigates the advantages of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the construction industry. However, it is unknown what challenges will be presented by the transition from conventional Facility Management (FM) methods to those based on BIM. It is crucial to clearly define the information of components in the facilities management phase. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the frequency of utilizing information on building elements during facilities management. This is considered to be one of the foundations to construct a database of BIM-FM models that is essential for the operation management unit. However, this database has not yet been reported and studied up to the present time. Based on the survey analysis, the research shows that the frequency and demand for information of the operation management unit focus on Mechanical and Electrical, not related to the Architecture and Structural aspects. Research results can help stakeholders identify information that needs to be taken into mind in the handover process of the high-rise building facilities management and operation unit.
