Why BIM to FM is more than just a data handover — and how LUKS closes the loop between planning, construction, and operations.
Complex or large construction projects face key questions and significant challenges in the context of lifecycle BIM. Our BIM2FM use case at the Lucerne Cantonal Hospital demonstrates how this approach can be successfully implemented in practice.
From design to operation
In many projects, handing over design and construction data to operations has become a standard goal — yet it often remains a one-way street. But what happens when models and project data are not just handed over, but actively maintained in asset management alongside ongoing facility management? The LUKS lifecycle approach demonstrates how this gap can be closed. By aggregating information from design, construction, and commissioning within big®, an ideal foundation is created for a truly seamless BIM to FM workflow.
Data utilization and management throughout the lifecycle
The added value becomes tangible when property management and facility management work seamlessly together. This closes the loop: operational requirements feed directly into new projects, and what is handed over at commissioning is actually needed. During planning, only the information that will be relevant in operations is communicated, requested, and quality-assured — eliminating surprises at project completion.
BIM becomes effective when data doesn’t end but continues to live. This is precisely the key to real lifecycle value.
