With BIM gaining wide adoption across the public and private sector, building models are becoming pervasive and building owners – including government organizations and agencies – are seeing the opportunity to use them for something more than just architecture, design and construction. They’re also seeing the immense potential for BIM models to improve building management.

As a result, owners are starting to reuse BIM models and the information created during design and construction to streamline their own operations. This information can be used in a large number of subsequent processes, such as costing, construction simulation, planning, digital fabrication, commissioning, operations and maintenance (O&M), facility management, and to support future renovations and upgrade programs.

However, it’s important to prepare in advance if BIM models are going to be useful for post occupancy building management. In this white paper from Chuck Mies, a Business Development Manager at Autodesk, he lays out three important questions to ask, and a few essential steps to take, to ensure that BIM models are useful for future uses post occupancy.
