FACILITY MANAGERS
BIM CONSULTING
Maximize the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in your construction projects with our specialized consulting.
We help the owners of technical facilities or buildings to define BIM strategies, evaluate capabilities, support in the selection of qualified teams and suppliers, in the launching of tenders or hiring, in the implementation of a BIM methodology, and in the management of information throughout the life cycle of your building.
Contact us to learn more about our BIM consulting services for owners.
- Detailed review of BIM models.
- Verification of the structure of the models and the relationships between the elements.
- Compliance with interoperability norms and standards.
- Evaluation of consistency and accuracy of data in models.
- Analysis of compatibility and interoperability of models with other software.
- Verification of regulatory and legal compliance of models.
- Evaluation of the visual and aesthetic quality of the models.
- Elaboration of audit reports with observations, nonconformities and recommendations.
BIM MODELING
survey, project, scan
BIM modeling is the creation of a 3D digital model of the building or structure that includes all the necessary information for design, construction and future management.
The BIM modeling process can include the survey of existing conditions, the architecture and specialties project, the scanning of existing buildings, among other steps.
The BIM modeling team uses BIM software to create the 3D model, including information about each building element, such as dimensions, materials, technical specifications, among others.
The BIM model is then used for simulations, analysis and for the generation of documentation for the construction and operation of the building.

BIM MANAGEMENT
BIM process management or BIM Management consists of supervising and coordinating the use of BIM throughout the project, from design to construction and post-construction.
The goal is to ensure that the entire project team works collaboratively and uses BIM best practices to produce accurate models, avoiding conflicts and reducing errors and corrections.
The BIM process manager is responsible for coordinating project progress against BIM objectives set by the owner and ensuring that BIM deliverables meet project standards and requirements.

concepsysBIM is part of a project company with over 20 years of experience in different project areas, providing coordinated projects, always using the BIM work methodology.
Advantages
- Preventive Maintenance
The information on material systems and equipment contained in the BIM models is valuable for creating the database needed to organize preventive maintenance, especially with regard to equipment that requires regular inspections and maintenance, particularly heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and security systems.
Additionally, the availability of information about systems that undergo frequent changes is valuable for facility management.
- Space Management
BIM models provide an extremely useful basis for managing spaces and their occupancy. Organizations that occupy vast areas of office space will benefit from the availability of this information. By cross-referencing building and human resources information, large companies are able to better manage available space with increased functionality and reduced facility-related expenses.
- Energy Efficiency
Considering that commercial and industrial buildings account for almost 20% of energy consumption in several countries, there is an objective to analyze and research options to promote greater energy efficiency. BIM tools play an important role at this level, facilitating the analysis and comparison of the various alternatives .
- Documentation Management
Managing up-to-date technical drawings of facilities is always a challenge for facility managers. Although BIM does not extinguish the need to maintain up-to-date information on buildings, it presents at least two advantages over traditional CAD methods: BIM facilitates the three-dimensional representation of the different building components and thus facilitating their perception, with obvious advantages for example when it comes to the representation of mechanical systems, ventilation, air-conditioning, etc. BIM models integrate relevant information about assemblies, finishes, and equipment.
- Life Cycle Management
The recent emphasis on sustainability has brought a greater focus on aspects related to the life cycle management of buildings. Responsible landlords are realizing that this attitude makes sense both economically and ecologically. BIM makes it easier to manage relevant information about current building conditions and facilitates alternatives analysis and decision making. The BIM model can contain the information about the durability and replacement costs of different components, helping owners understand the advantages of investing initially in materials and systems that may represent a higher initial cost, but be reflected in savings over the life cycle of the buildings.
- System Automation
Building energy automation (SAE) systems provide real-time monitoring and control of sophisticated electrical and mechanical systems. Experience shows that efficient building utilization is critical to achieving energy savings. Although still recent, the integration between BIM and SAE will bring significant benefits, with particular relevance in technical buildings such as laboratories or hospitals.
