A Systematic Review of the Extent to Which BIM Is Integrated into Operation and Maintenance

Although a considerable amount of research has addressed the use building information modelling (BIM) in facilities management (FM) within past years, there is limited systematic review on investigating potentials BIM operation and maintenance (O&M) life cycle phase. Yet, this phase could account for approximately 60% total costs assets. The purpose paper to conduct literature application O&M identify current trends, gaps future directions. This study achieves aforementioned by adopting preferred reporting items meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P). It employs qualitative quantitative techniques analyse articles from combination three multi-disciplinary databases, namely—Scopus, Web Science Engineering Village, which also comprises Compendex, InSpec, GeoRef GeoBase sub-databases. After an in-depth 196 selected journal articles, systemically presents: (1) bibliometric analyses O&M; (2) patterns trends; (3) drivers barriers BIM–O&M integration; (4) mapped into standard project lifecycle guide content analysis reveals that mainly been integrated under seven functions: (IM), advanced technology (AT), asset (MAM), indoor performance assessment (PA), visualisation (V), lean (LM). Findings reveal UK, USA China are top ranked countries with regards outputs integrations. majority integrations falls function, whereas least output was recorded management. In addition, studies focused institutional infrastructure facility types, but residential, industrial commercial buildings were underrepresented, despite their disproportionate physical dominance most societies. show potential can be classified main categories—technical, organisational, legal/contractual. then concluded still emerging, further emphasises need more address value realization context O&M, particular focus specific principles different types.
