WHY USE BIM FOR
NEW & EXISTING BUILDINGS
Reduce the time and frustration obtaining
critical facility information from files and
spread sheets

Eliminate physical obstacles and barriers to

obtaining information from field verification

Remote access to all critical facility information

(Whenever, Wherever, However…)

Common depository for all facility information

stored and retrieved via a virtual/geo-
referenced application

TAKEAWAYS

 3D models for existing building do not need to be

highly detailed, LOD 100-200

 Define maintainable equipment and its parameters:

use tradespeople’s experience and operation manuals as reference

 Audit your CMMS data in the field while locating

your maintainable equipment

 If equipment 3D models are not available on the web,

create them using your construction documents or measurements

 Connect CMMS and BIM models

 Define standards for BIM-TMA data management
