This document discusses how integrating building information modeling (BIM) and facility management (FM) helps owners access crucial building data. It presents two case studies where universities used BIM data to avoid manually recreating facility information and establish long-term maintenance plans. Xavier University streamlined data collection for a facilities plan, saving 4-6 months of work. MathWorks required detailed BIM deliverables to populate its asset management systems, leveraging design and construction data. Both projects highlighted the need to involve FM early to ensure usable BIM data delivery.
