Developing Best Practices for Capturing As-Built Building Information Models (BIM) for Existing Facilities
The operation and maintenance of U.S. Army real property could greatly benefit from the availability of advanced forms of digital as-built facility data, such as those used in Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems. The Army Corps of Engineers requires the use of BIM on all new construction projects associated with the Army Standardization program. This study extends an earlier analysis performed by the University of Washington for the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center under the Installation Technology Transfer Program, documented in ERDC/CERL CR-10-1. The objective was to determine the most efficient method for capturing essential as-built information about U.S. Army facilities for application in a BIM-driven support tool for operation and maintenance decision making. The study also evaluated the potential applicability of readily available tools such as the Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie) data format, Google SketchUp, Google Earth, three-dimensional Portable Document Format (3D PDF), and BIM integration technologies, with a focus on task-centered interface and workflows. The findings constitute a summary of best practices for meeting the research objective and facilitating implementation by Army Departments of Public Works.
