Collaboration to Deliver the Right Information
Handover information from construction teams has seldom been good but, ironically with the advent of BIM and Digital Handover, it seems to be getting worse.
Combine this with:
a) The stronger statutory regime that required building owns to explicitly confirm they have all the information they need to keep the building safe – and that all Building Regs have been met
b) The statutory requirement to inspect more frequently and report key failures
c) A reducing number of competent people who know what to do
d) Increasing reporting requirements on sustainability and lifecycle
e) The expectation that buildings will use AI to deliver better environments
…. we have a perfect storm.
BIM and digital asset information is critical to effective asset management but we need to be much clearer in telling design and construction teams what we need.
But who is we?
FM, PPM, Fire Safety, Compliance Helpdesk, Lifecycle, Space Management, Energy and Carbon reporting all have different needs. We need a strong collaboration between subject matter experts in all things asset management to provide BIM teams with the information they need, to give us the information that we need.
