Introduction

Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations is fast becoming the industry standard approach to designing, analysing, and managing the building lifecycle. 

BIM in Operation and Maintenance looks at the role of BIM and related technologies that can be adopted for building and asset operation and maintenance, and how to overcome the challenges of BIM Facilities Management (FM) integration.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module students will achieve the following learning outcomes:  

• Critically analyse the role of BIM for building and asset operation and maintenance 
• Assess BIM Facilities Management (FM) integration
• Apply BIM for system control 
• Apply BIM for space tracking 
• Use BIM for asset management 
• Apply BIM for maintenance management 
• Apply BIM for existing conditions modelling
• Produce condition documentation
• Work as part of a team 

Learning and Teaching

The module is delivered by way of five study days of face-to-face teaching. Recorded lectures and the use of email discussion groups, virtual learning environments (VLEs) and other technology-aided means are also employed.
