This document discusses investing in maintenance planning for Sea Colony Phase II. It promotes using building information modeling (BIM) and a central data archive to improve project outcomes. BIM allows fact-based decision making using virtual building models with embedded data for what-if analysis and simulation. This can help capture existing asset information completely and enable better long-term project budgeting. It also promises to improve predictability and enable local support through consistent ratings and a portal for shared understanding. However, the document warns that predicted outcomes using these tools are still estimates that can vary from real-life results due to unpredictable factors like labor and material costs.
