BIM2FM stands for the seamless transfer of BIM (Building Information Modeling) data from the construction phase to operation. This creates a digital twin of the building that enables efficient operation throughout the entire life cycle.
Efficient and consistent digital building operation
Significant cost reduction in operation possible
Optimized energy efficiency and sustainability
Improved maintenance and servicing processes
Increased transparency and compliance
More flexibility and future-proofing
Complete documentation of all components and systems for audits or proof of standards
Significant reduction in operating costs
The operating phase of a building is 20 times more expensive than its construction. These can be significantly reduced with precise data and digital processes.
CO₂ footprint specifically optimized
The integration of building physics data (e.g. insulation values, heating and ventilation parameters) enables a targeted reduction in energy consumption.
Reduction in unplanned downtime
Maintenance intervals, spare parts information and technical specifications are stored in the digital model. This facilitates preventive maintenance and extends the service life of the systems.
No inventories for conversions
The digital twin allows simple adjustments to be made in the event of conversions, changes in floor space or new technologies and ensures the long-term usability and value stability of the building.
USe Cases
BIM2FM is worthwhile for complex buildings, large real estate portfolios and wherever future-oriented and digital work is carried out. The resulting digital twin forms the basis for future AI applications.
Use Case 1
Digital building documentation
Everyone involved in the operation has access to documentation, 3D models, plans and maintenance information at the touch of a button.
Use Case 2
Space management & occupancy analysis
By linking the spaces structured in the BIM model (IfcSpaces) with occupancy and people counting data, underutilization and overutilization become visible. Spaces can be consolidated and costs per m² reduced in a targeted manner.
Use Case 3
Fact-based, visualized overview in dashboards
Utilization trends by zone and room type provide the data basis for well-founded decisions on relocations, desk sharing or re-zoning.
Use Case 4
Repairs & fault management („Ticket in case of alarm")
Messages from the building management system automatically generate tickets in the CAFM system - located directly on the affected component in the 3D model, including maintenance instructions, parts lists and history.
Use Case 5
Conversions & tenant fit-outs
The digital twin enables variant studies for layout changes, capacities and media connections. Conflicts are identified at an early stage and construction times are reduced. Space, access and operating costs for tenant fit-outs can be planned in advance and compared with existing data.
Our services
With structure, data and systems for digital building operation
We lay the foundations for the successful introduction of BIM2FM. Together with the specialist departments, we define use cases and develop a target-oriented application architecture with all stakeholders.
A client CDE is one of the most important systems for structured and high-quality building documentation. It forms the basis for all information used in operations - especially in connection with CAFM. We introduce such a CDE together with the parties involved.
Modern CAFM systems are needed so that the specialist departments can work efficiently and digitally. Based on the requirements, we create tenders, accompany the development and introduction, including the necessary process adjustments and change management in the workforce.
Transferring information from construction projects can be challenging. We ensure that complete documentation is handed over in accordance with the specifications.
A successful BIM2FM concept consists of several systems. Interfaces are unavoidable and complex: we define the requirements and coordinate implementation with suppliers and internal IT departments through to successful regular operation. Documentation takes place in specially designed systems.
The BIM models originating from the construction project must be continuously updated so that they remain usable for facility management. We handle this model maintenance with the following authoring systems: Trimble Nova, Autodesk Revit, Bently Microstation, Graphisoft Archicad.
Our BIM management provides the perfect basis to ensure that the information required for operation is created step by step in the early project phases - from strategic planning through to execution.
