ViBIM delivers precise BIM modeling from point cloud data, specifically for facility management. Our services transform complex building information into actionable intelligence, empowering efficient facility operations through highly accurate digital representations.
ViBIM specializes in creating comprehensive facility management BIM models from point cloud scan data, providing facility managers with accurate digital representations of their physical assets.
Our BIM for Facility Management services integrate building component data, spatial relationships, and performance metrics into a unified digital platform. By analyzing point cloud data captured during building surveys. Our specialists then develop detailed Revit models with embedded information about building components, including manufacturer details, maintenance requirements, warranty information, and lifecycle data. These models serve as comprehensive digital twins of physical facilities, supporting efficient operations and maintenance workflows, enabling facility managers to access critical information about building systems, equipment specifications, maintenance schedules, and spatial configurations from a single source. Our models facilitate smoother handovers from construction to operations, reduce information loss, and establish reliable data foundations for long-term facility management.
Our Scan to BIM for FM Services Offers
ViBIM provides comprehensive BIM solutions specifically for facility management. We transform complex building information into actionable digital assets, optimizing operations and maintenance throughout the building lifecycle.
- High-Accuracy As-Built Modeling from Point Cloud Data: We create detailed Revit models from laser-scanned point cloud data, precisely capturing the as-built conditions of facility infrastructure. All architectural, structural, and MEP elements are modeled to reflect actual dimensions, spatial locations, and component relationships with high fidelity.
- Model Structuring for FM Integration: Our methodology integrates industry-standard naming conventions, systematic category assignments, and logical model hierarchies, facilitating seamless integration with Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) and Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) platforms.
- Facility Management-Ready Parameters and Information Fields: Following client-specific requirements and Asset Information Requirements (AIR), we embed essential asset data directly into the BIM model. This includes equipment IDs, model numbers, maintenance zones, location codes, serial numbers, and other critical lifecycle data.
- Zone and Space Management Configuration: We accurately define and name rooms, areas, and maintenance zones using Revit spaces and zone configurations, ensuring alignment with facility management organizational structures.
- Deliverable Formatting and Export for FM Platforms: Upon request, ViBIM assists in structuring the Revit model or exporting it to various formats (e.g., COBie, IFC) for compatibility with specific FM platforms or databases.
- Custom Tagging and Annotation for FM Use: Specialized tags and annotations are incorporated into models to identify critical equipment, access panels, shut-off valves, and service points crucial for facility management personnel.
- Data Validation and Quality Assurance for FM Requirements: ViBIM applies comprehensive validation checklists and client-specific standards to verify populated information fields, consistent parameter values, and geometric accuracy within acceptable tolerances relative to source scan data. Furthermore, our specialized tool connects parametric data from all component families to Excel, centralizing and synchronizing all project data to streamline FM information management.
Benefits of Scan to BIM for FM Services
Key benefits of applying BIM, particularly through Scan to BIM for Facility Management, include:
- Accurate Spatial Representation: Delivers a precise depiction of building elements as they currently exist on site.
- Centralized Asset Data: Consolidates information such as equipment type, serial numbers, locations, and maintenance zones into a single, accessible model.
- Improved Maintenance Planning and Tracking: Enables better scheduling and monitoring of maintenance activities using linked model information.
- Reduced Need for Manual Inspections: Minimizes the frequency of physical site visits for information gathering, thanks to reliable digital references.
- Better Space and Occupancy Management: Facilitates more effective management of spaces with clearly defined zones and functions.
- Support for CAFM/CMMS Integration: Enhances operational efficiency by providing a solid data foundation for integration with facility management software.
- Foundation for Digital Twin Integration: Serves as an excellent input for future Digital Twin solutions in facility management.
The Industry Standards and Best Practice We Follow
At ViBIM, all point cloud-derived models are developed under a rigorous quality and compliance framework. We adhere to a comprehensive suite of standards and information groups vital for FM-ready BIM, including:
- Master Tag Register (MTR): A project-specific document ensuring all equipment/assets are tagged, categorized, and tracked, with Revit families precisely matched to MTR codes, asset IDs, and classifications.
- COBie (Construction-Operations Building information exchange) compliance.
- IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) Standards adherence.
- ISO 19650 for BIM Information Management.
- Client-Specific AIR (Asset Information Requirements) integration.
- Strict Revit Parameter Standardization.
- ViBIM's Internal FM-Ready QA/QC Checklist.
