PURPOSEIntegrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) into Facility Management (FM) has generated fervent debate within extant literature given an increasing realisation amongst practitioners that the majority of BIM benefits reside within whole-lifecycle management. Converting a building's in-use data and information into tangible business knowledge to augment FM performance is crucial for business growth and prosperity.Yet curiously, scant academic attention has been paid to investigating the data and information hand-over process through BIM required by FM. This study addresses this knowledge gap. DESIGN/METHODOLOGYThe research approach adopted draws upon pertinent BIM in FM literature and a qualitative discourse accrued via focus group meetings of Australian FM experts. FINDINGSThe study's findings are presented as a data and information typology matrix which captures the associations among different forms of data ownership, FM service delivery categories and data and information typologies for using BIM in FM. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONSAnalysis results will prove invaluable for policy-makers, researchers and practitioners by providing a relevant data and information typology and capturing the complex associations in the process of integrating BIM into FM. ORIGINALITY/VALUEThis study contributes to the field by providing a better understanding of different forms of data and information, required by members of a facility management team. The original insight shared here is the necessity to consider a distinctive array of interests and the potential for using different forms of data and information when integrating BIM into FM. 2 KEYWORDSBuilding Information Modelling (BIM); Facility Management; Information requirements, Typology matrix.
