Integration of BIM and Archibus for Facility Management (FM) in FKAAS, UTHM Building

Building Information Modelling (BIM) can play a great role in improving the operation and maintenance (O&M) of building and facility management (FM) through the use of construction technology. BIM can be implemented in design, construction and facility management which provide a digital database of information management that can be easily shared between stakeholders. However, the use of BIM in O&M for FM is still limited in Malaysian construction. The aim of this study is to explore the integration of using BIM tools and FM software for space management as the primary key to facility management. FKAAS building located in UTHM has been used as the case study for this research. The main objective is to develop a 3D BIM model by using Revit Autodesk and integrate into ARCHIBUS software to manage spaces based on Sistem Kod Aset Tak Alih Kerajaan (SKATA). As a result, the data of the building can be used by the facility management to manage the building spaces in a more efficient way and enhance the building performance in future. This result can help the facility management of FKAAS building to manage spaces, space inventory and better performance and maintenance for FKAAS and other UTHM Buildings.
