Abstract
Despite the successful project delivery for BIM in facilities management, limited investigations have focused on BIM and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) integration. Although this phase accounts for approximately 60% of total life cycle costs, making it crucial for realising good return on investment (ROI). It was found that one of the main reasons for slow adoption of BIM in O&M is the absence of clear information requirements, making it challenging to create asset registers. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to identify the information requirements for integrating BIM with O&M. This research deploys a combination of a systematic literature review (SLR) and expert verification (via questionnaire) to identify the information requirements. The combination of the information extracted from the SLR with their validation by 21 experts resulted in identifying 21 information requirements (IRs) grouped into five categories: general IRs, strategic IRs, operational IRs, commercial IRs and continuous improvement IRs. These IRs provide a fundamental framework for O&M practitioners and researchers to promote the implementation of BIM in O&M.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
