This document discusses how BIM can support asset and facility management over a building's lifecycle. It outlines how BIM data like the COBie specification can provide information to facility managers for tasks like maintenance planning and space management. However, the document also notes some challenges, such as COBie being a spreadsheet format rather than a database and it not capturing all necessary cost data. It concludes that BIM can help lifecycle management if used to digitally store and share useful data with facility managers to support tasks after a building is occupied.
