“…This paper aims to provide a comprehensive discussion concerning recent advances in the field of information exchange and interoperability between BIM and FM systems.Recent reviews of BIM implementation and research approaches in FM either covered digitisation in FM, where BIM was presented among other technologies [8,9]; or BIM implementation in FM, where the reviews analysed the existing research on BIM for FM and established trends [10]. Some of the reviews concentrate on specific aspects of BIM implementation in FM such as: BIM for FM with specific focus on refurbishment and maintenance [11]; energy retrofitting [12], knowledge management [13,14]; existing buildings [15], and as-is BIM model surveys [16]; Burno et al, 2018). Although topics regarding data exchange and interoperability between BIM and FM systems were covered in some reviews and identified as a research trend [11]; [8,9,12,14], the existing research in this field requires more work to be done to investigate the current status of data exchange and interoperability between BIM and FM systems and to recommend future work.…”

“…There is a further development of disciplines so that social BIM and social HBIM terms are proposed as an addition to the technical information set for modelling [14,22]. Authors [23] have proposed four major steps for constructing the existing building model using different technologies: 1) Selecting different technologies for documenting building geometry and creating 3D geometric models; 2) Data processing to create a complete and accurate 3D model; 3) Object recognition where 3D geometric models in the global coordinate system complement semantic information 4) Modelling in which the primary partial information model becomes a semantically rich BIM. In this spirit [24] is proposing the path of three questions to be answered -did we chose proper techniques for precise and accurate measuring; do we know what do we draw and does drawing present enough information and clear information to enable communication.…”

The benefits and challenges posed by Building Information Modelling in documenting the existing buildings comes from the development of the digital support to the needs, compatibility and interoperability of applied technologies and at the same time of the available knowledge and skills to use a wide range of necessary technologies. Within the scope of Heritage Building Information Modelling, the use of 3D views has become a common practice, often hindered by complex geometry and layered time changes of constructive systems. Implementation of BIM for heritage buildings is developed through the procedures of designing parametric objects and selecting compatible technologies to create a rich information model. The paper presents the application of the 3D BIM approach in researching, documenting and interpreting the historic building of the baroque Palace of the Slavonian General Command in the historic core of Osijek, Croatia. Applied recording technologies, laser scanning, and thermal scanning, as support for HBIM, have been chosen according to selective research goals of the Palace of the Slavonian General Command. The method of simulating non-existent constructive elements from assumptions and analogies is presented as the preceding procedure of creating a HBIM library that opens the possibility of the broader dissemination of information on the explored heritage. The results point to the advantages of the model building approach for valorisation and interpretation of constructive changes over time, through the modelling logic, closely relating to the logic of construction.

“…Due to the need for repeated collection of information, O&M costs are relatively high, at around 60% or two-thirds of the cost incurred during the entire life cycle of a facility (Liu and Issa, 2016). The main reasons for low efficiency in existing O&M practices include lack of an automated and economical approach for accurate data processing or up-to-date data repositories (Wetzel and Thabet, 2015;Lu and Lee, 2017). Digital technologies such as computer-aided facility management (CAFM), building information systems (BISs) and building information modelling (BIM) have been introduced into facility operation functions in recent years to tackle issues around real-time information collection and processing.…”

“…There is increasing value in using images to provide visual data to identify the facility conditions of various building elements such as steel corrosion, wall cracks and painting in carpet, pine, timber and other elements that cannot be detected by sensors. Lu and Lee (2017) suggest that it would be more effective and economical in building management processes to generate an 'as-is' BIM model using image-based modelling methods. Another challenge is to recognise the inspected images and update them to the corresponding image database.…”

Purpose-Automated technologies have been applied to facility management (FM) practices to address labour demands of, and time consumed by, inputting and processing manual data. Less attention has been focused on automation of visual information, such as images, when improving timely maintenance decisions. This study aimed to develop image classification algorithms to improve information flow in the inspection-repair process through building information modelling (BIM). Design/methodology/approach-To improve and automate the inspection-repair process, image classification algorithms were employed to connect images with a corresponding image database in a BIM knowledge repository. QR code decoding and Bag of Words were chosen to classify images in the system. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were developed to facilitate activity collaboration and communication. A pilot case study in an inspection-repair process was applied to demonstrate the applications of this system. Findings-The system developed in this study associates the inspection-repair process with a digital three dimensional (3D) model, GUIs, a BIM knowledge repository and image classification algorithms. By implementing the proposed application in a case study, the authors found that improvement of the inspection-repair process and automated image classification with a BIM knowledge repository (such as the one developed in this study) can enhance FM practices by increasing productivity and reducing time and costs associated with decision-making. Originality/value-This study introduces an innovative approach that applies image classification and leverages a BIM knowledge repository to enhance the inspection-repair process in facility management practice. The system designed provides automated image-classifying data from a smart phone, eliminates time required to input image data manually, and improves communication and collaboration between FM personnel for maintenance in the decision-making process.
