The construction industry's adoption of digital techniques necessitates regular information updates and maintenance within the digital construction framework. While previous research focused on design and construction phases, the absence of a structured framework for the operational and maintenance phases has been recognized as a deficiency. Building Information Modeling based Facilities Management aims to address this gap by meeting the informational requirements of assets in the digital environment, particularly during the operational and maintenance phase. However, effective utilization of BIM for FM faces challenges outlined in subsequent chapters. To resolve these issues, this thesis proposes a solution for recurring difficulties in facility management caused by the lack of an organized digital information management workflow. 1. Involving the facility manager from the project's initial stages. 2. Developing a structured workflow and guidelines for BIM-based facility management to ensure clarity and avoid setbacks. 3. Ensuring high-quality BIM model development through quality checklists. This research enhances BIM-based facility management by addressing specific issues through a comprehensive framework. A checklist is proposed to assess BIM model quality, minimizing errors and ensuring high-quality outcomes. The framework emphasizes early involvement of facility managers and improved Exchange Information Requirement (EIR) through client-facility manager collaboration.     «
