Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This case study explores the integration of a BIM-enabled FM concept within a construction project during the tendering preparation phase. The study investigates the requirements and preconditions of this concept, examines the reasons behind their definition, and analyzes their effects on the tendering preparation process.

• The role of BIM in Facility Management (FM) and its impact on information management.
• The importance of data quality and efficient handover processes in BIM-enabled FM projects.
• The effects of a BIM-enabled FM concept on the tendering process, including requirements and preconditions for contractors.
• The identification of inefficiencies in customer processes and documents related to BIM integration in FM.
• The development and evaluation of a web-based documentation process for efficient handover and risk minimization.
