Description
As our clients realize the benefits that BIM (Building Information Modeling) can bring to facilities management (FM), we are progressively seeing more and more new design-and-build projects incorporating that all-important FM data. However, this leads to the question—what about our clients' existing facilities? New South Wales Health in Australia is currently in the process of moving their existing FM systems to a BIM-enabled system. Using the Prince of Wales Hospital Precinct in Sydney as a case study, this class will look at the advantages of utilizing the Revit database connector to manipulate large data sets for use by FM teams and building owners. We will also explore the potential of integrating the client's existing non-BIM FM database through the use of external relational databases, developing data-rich models, and ensuring consistency to enable a smoother transition to BIM for existing facilities.
