White paper on the integration of BIM in FM processes

May 12, 2026 | From the editors

Building information modeling (BIM) has become an important tool in the construction industry. The benefits of the model extend beyond the design phase. This white paper explores how BIM can be integrated into facility management.

The synergy between BIM and FM not only offers efficiency and cost benefits but also contributes to the sustainability of buildings throughout their entire lifecycle. By embracing this innovative approach, organizations can shape the future of real estate management. This leads to more efficient management, cost savings, and improved sustainability throughout a building's lifecycle.

BIM provides a central digital representation of the building, including detailed information about systems and components. This central source of information enables proactive maintenance and significantly improves facility management.

A key advantage of Bim is its integration with technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT). This enables organizations to real-time To perform monitoring, which allows for further process optimization. A practical example is the use of 3D BIM models by the national government. These models allowed for more efficient planning of cleaning processes, resulting in significant cost savings and increased effectiveness.
