Implementation

In complying with ISO 19650-3: Operational Phase of Asset Lifecycle, building information modeling (BIM) is required during the operational phase. In particular, asset management encompasses all aspects of asset life cycles, including operational phases. During the operation phase, routine inspections, maintenance, and replacement of minor components of the assets continually result in minor modifications.

According to RIBA’s Plan of Work 2020, 7D BIM involves feeding building models with information and data needed for asset life cycle usage. After handover, this stage ensures that the building is used, maintained, and operated efficiently throughout the entire asset lifecycle. This information can be assessed and managed through COBie - Construction, Operations Building Information Exchange.

COBie is a non-proprietary data format for the publication of a subset of building information models (BIM) focused on delivering asset data as distinct from geometric information (theNBS.com).

As opposed to the traditional way of keeping typical construction project information in drawings, BOQ, schedule, technical data sheet and specification for different project disciplines, COBie format ensures that key project information needed for the operational phase of the asset is pulled into one format. The client’s AIR and EIR require all project stakeholders to contribute to the information domicile. Using the Asset Information Model, this information is extracted into a spreadsheet.
