VCC Menu Overview Initial construction costs are small in comparison to the costs incurred by owners to operate and maintain a building throughout its lifecycle. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) data and documentation can be integrated to the project’s 3D model when it becomes available and the General Contractor / Construction Manager can provide a digital handover. Rather than sifting through the mountain of paperwork the Owner’s personnel will be able to visually search the building elements to access the data they need. The information tagged to elements in the 3D model is easily customizable to meet the needs of the Owner. Typical examples include product cut sheets, O&M manuals, performance data, and spare parts lists. BIM software applications provide a flexible platform which allow for a host of different facilities management solutions such as the creation of custom schedules for equipment inventory, spatial analysis for facility use, and data export for integration with CAFM, CMMS and IWMS software applications. Finally, by combining O&M data with the 3D model the building and its contents can be updated in the future as the building matures to continually serve as a live as-built representation of the facility. Why Use Trimble for Facility Management Data Entry? Trimble Buildings group is focused on the entire Design-Build-Operate value chain including facility management (FM). In addition to being able to perform the manual work related to data entry Trimble is able to function as a partner to propose an FM solution to the Owner, maximizing the benefit of digital handover. If the Owner already has an FM system Trimble can enter the data based on their system’s requirements. If the Owner does not have a system in place Trimble can provide a demonstration of digital Facility Management using their project’s data. This integrated approach will increase the perceived value of General Contractor’s / Construction Manager’s delivery.
