Digital Tool for Asset Management Activities
Deploying BIM as an effective digital tool for asset data collection to support asset management activities
Research Objectives
To understand the BIM capabilities and challenges in digitally delivering the asset register.
To define the rules and requirements around the delivery of asset data information as part of project handover.
To propose a framework for asset data collection for stakeholder in a project utilizing BIM.
Guiding Questions
How can Information be collected and exchanged to meet the different operational uses of the asset owners especially in infrastructure projects?
How can asset owners utilise BIM practices to support asset life cycle planning and maintenance management during project delivery?
Research Scope
How can Information be collected and exchanged to meet the different operational uses of the asset owners especially in infrastructure projects?
Ad-hoc asset information while project execution will require strategy for its completion as project information may not fulfill client needs.
The choice of digital tools utilised in a project can significantly affect asset data capture by project-users and asset data transfer for the end-users.
Site validation and data quality and its validation requires duplication of effort as no baseline requirements are provided for project delivery phases.
Disagreement between teams within the project may arise due to scope creep and its cost which may hinder collaboration because asset data is not specified and agreed initially.
