BIM CASE STUDIES
FOR ASSET AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Supported by
Published by the British Institute of Facilities Management
September 2015
An Introduction to BIM
The operational phase of a building is the
main contributor to the building’s lifecycle
cost. Estimates show that the lifecycle cost
is five to seven times higher than the initial
investment costs and three times that of the
construction cost. As a result, there is a
considerable economic and environmental
need to manage both new and existing
facilities in an efficient way. Facility
management (FM) encompasses multiple
disciplines to ensure optimal functionality of
the built environment by integrating people,
place, process and technology. It covers
everything from real estate and financial
management to maintenance and cleaning,
this variety of services highlights just how
complex the FM industry is.
BIFM and the BIM Academy
The British Institute of Facilities Management
(BIFM) has long been aware of the rising
importance of Building Information
Modelling (BIM) and Soft Landings. In
September 2012 we held our first FM
Leaders Forum on ‘BIM and Bridging the Gap
with FM’, and the following autumn, we
engaged in a second FM Leaders Forum
‘Starting at stage zero’. This highlighted how
the adoption of BIM required greater
collaboration between the different
professions involved in the construction
design and management process.
BIFM recognises that facilities management
professionals have much to gain from using
and understanding BIM. It is an important
process in helping to ensure that future
building performance, in terms of energy
consumption and occupant comfort, closely
matches the original design intent.
In 2013 BIFM was a founding member of the
BIM4FM group. The group’s purpose is to
champion facilities management’s
involvement with Building Information
Modelling (BIM) projects. BIM4FM would like
Governments around the world have recognised
the inefficiencies affecting the construction
industry in general, and have recommended and
mandated the use of Building Information
Modelling (BIM) as a strategy to addressing a
declining productivity.
Building Information Modelling is “An
integrated digital process providing
coordinated, reliable shareable data
throughout all project phases, from design
through construction and into operation”,
BIM Academy at Northumbria University.
Utilisation of BIM enabled FM has significant
value-adding potential; BIM can help create and
maintain facilities that are more efficient, have
lower carbon emissions, cost less to run and are
better, more effective and safer places to live
and work.
to ensure that the industry works together to
support and educate facilities management
professionals, owners and occupiers, as well
as developing stronger relationships with
other members of the built environment
supply chain.
Many more in the facilities management
community are now starting to realise the
benefits of engaging with Soft Landings as a
process which can and must aid in the design,
commissioning and ultimately successful
occupation of new and refurbished buildings,
as well as better asset management.
Soft Landings together with the development
and integration with BIM, is seen as a big
opportunity to reduce the performance gap.
In this spirit of collaboration, a key
requirement of soft landings, the BIM
Academy has kindly shared their experiences
on new builds and refits in order to share best
practice with the FM industry in partnership
with BIFM.
The following case studies highlight the
financial, environmental and key benefits
gained by utilising BIM across a variety
of projects.

DURHAM CATHEDRAL
Preserving and Capturing Our Heritage
Summary of project
The 900-year-old Chapter House was chosen
as a pilot project to demonstrate the benefits
of the Building Information Modelling (BIM)
process to existing buildings, which saw the
historic room turned into a 3D model. The
model will aid running of a world famous, well
visited, large site and the conservation and
protection of an ancient monument. The
project demonstrates how digital building
technology can improve the efficiency in
management and operation of buildings,
through the transition from traditional facility
management procedures to the utilisation of
digital information and 3D models to deliver
greater value to the institution.
What was done?
Project details
Project title
Durham Cathedral
– Preserving and capturing
our heritage
Date of project
August 2014
– November 2014
After surveying was completed, the collections
of individual scans were processed to produce
a single linked model of the Chapter House.
Client
The point cloud was then exported to Revit,
within which BIM Academy modelled the
Chapter House solely from the point cloud,
before adding to the model parameters
tailored to client’s needs.
Durham Cathedral facilities
management team
Type of project
Scan to BIM
BIM Academy initially surveyed the building
using the latest developments in 3D laser
scanning to produce geometric models (known
as point clouds) of the Chapter House with an
accuracy of a few millimetres.

What were the key
outcomes, inclusive of
savings, key benefits?
This resulted in a central data-rich model available
for everyday use, which allows for better informed
decisions and enables a variety of facilities
management and operations tasks, as well as;
Providing accurate information of the
current state and layout of the building as a
single reliable resource, which had previously
been lacking
Traditional outputs: sections and elevations,
as well as the dimensions and volumes of
ceilings and walls, at no additional cost and
within seconds
Condition surveys interlinked with models
with the history of each element
Creation of maintenance schedules
Accurate Stone Surveying
Visual walk-through around the facility
Scaffolding simulation for refurbishment
planning
Key Learnings
Good practice that may be replicated:
The creation of a 3D data rich model of a
heritage building significantly improved the
quality of documentation that could be used
by the facilities management team.
A small example of an indirect benefit is that
now the facilities management team can
calculate the volume of concrete in the
Chapter House ceiling. This is something that
could never have been done with
conventional surveying methods.
Key Learnings
Areas for improvement:
Understanding the level of detail needed
within the 3D model is very important. A lot of
time could be wasted modelling elements to
the nth degree, when simple geometry with
data attached could deliver the same benefits.
The point cloud could be used if a more
accurate representation is needed.
Scenario planning and simulation using Revit
(e.g. plan an exhibition inside a room)
Ability to take accurate measurements and
volumes for restoration works
Field tool: utilising mobile technology to
explore and update model on site
Production of quality visuals to communicate
future proposals

combined with practical experience on a
range of projects including Sydney Opera
House, BIM Academy have:
Gained a thorough understanding of
client requirements through interview
and analysis process
Gained a thorough understanding of
existing systems and how they link
Enabled the Opera House to implement a
web based BIM for facilities management

NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY
City Campus Model
Summary of project
Supported by BIM Academy, Northumbria
University Estates Department is using
BIM processes and technologies to
support the management of its city
campus which comprises of 32 disparate
non-residential buildings totalling over
120,000 square metres.
What was done?
BIM Academy supported the University
Estates Department campus in determining
its vision for BIM usage to deliver
efficiencies in the management of its assets.
Developed the detailed requirements for
appropriate BIM uses, e.g. aerial
photogrammetry, laser scanning and scan
to BIM and 2D to 3D data conversion and
then delivered these on behalf of the
estates team resulting in a federated model
in Revit and Industry Foundation Classes
(IFC) format.

What were the key
outcomes, inclusive of
savings, key benefits?
A federated model in Revit and IFC format
The cost-efficient creation of a valuable
digital resource which has enabled workflow
efficiencies for the maintenance of asset data
A test bed for further benefits for the
measurement of environmental performance
and management of critical systems
Key Learnings
Good practice that may be replicated:
Amongst our findings associated with this
work to date are that BIM enabled asset and
facilities management can offer major
efficiency gains in the retrieval and
maintenance of drawings and record
information; understanding client specific
requirements prior to initiation is important
and multi-technology platforms are required,
based on open standards (IFC). It is also vital
that the processes for updating the model are
carefully considered at the outset.
Key Learnings
Areas for improvement:
Change management is as important as the
technological improvement. There has been
some resistance to change with the estate
department, meaning that although they can
see the tangible benefits, they were initially
unwilling to overhaul the processes.

of the internal process maps for capital and
estate management.
Methods of assessing the competence and
resources of the supply chain to deliver
services to the revised standards.
An example Employers Information
Requirements (EIR) document that could be
adjusted and used on future projects.
What were the key
outcomes, inclusive of
savings, key benefits?
The overriding recommendations for delivering
BIM is so that Leeds Beckett can drive efficiencies
out of their new and existing estate, through the
maximisation of space utilisation, the potential
reduction in carbon and enhanced user
experience, as well as;
Positioning the University as leading the
adoption of BIM within large estate owners
in the UK
The industry being on the cusp of a significant
change and Leeds Beckett can drive this
forward from a client’s perspective, which is
what is currently missing
Key Learnings
Good practice that may be replicated:
A budget with indicative estimated costs for
implementation including staff resource.
It is important to understand current
work processes and practises
Examples of current and emerging best
practice elsewhere in industry and
recommendations on how these can be
applied to your organisation.
Look to implement quick wins to
leverage buy-in from employees. Do
not try and change everything at once
Put metrics in place to measure success
of implementation
Identification of pilot projects and
methodology for initiating them.
Metrics to determine the progress and
effectiveness of BIM adoption during the
implementation phase and thereafter. These
metrics cover both business value and BIM
implementation itself and will be relevant to
both project and corporate level.
Further information
Key Learnings
Areas for improvement:
It is important to ensure that the best value
opportunities are implemented first. Often
there are a considerable number of
opportunities for the organisation, but if they
looked to tackle them all at the same time,
the organisation can be slow to change due to
the enormity of the task.
