Abstract
Building maintenance and management are two sides for the same coin, which keep a building with the best quality during its life cycle time. Building management plays a role in covering the basic lines of security, cleanliness and implementing maintenance plans to reach the best performance and efficiency.
Maintenance management has become one of the most important factors that help complex buildings to perform effectively. As a result, buildings life span has dramatically increased especially when using recent technology. Maintenance management has become more powerful where building information modeling (BIM) helped in making standards that allows maintenance managers to make sure that every component in the building is working effectively.
However, four major steps in this thesis were done to help in generating a recommended framework that could help AEC firm in future. Where, analyzing theoretical data from literature reviews in fields of building maintenance, maintenance management and BIM will take the first place. While, thesis scope focuses on 7D services of BIM dimension which is related to maintenance management and construction operation building information exchange (COBie).
Thus, spotting the light on two of COBie applications and how using COBie standard and integrating it with maintenance management is an effective tool. Furthermore, a questionnaire survey was done with nearly 40 persons at the consultancy, contracting and real estate companies to know how far BIM is spread in Egypt and COBie familiarity and knowledge.
Finally, A sample was selected for a one-to-one interview with experts to cover BIM spread and COBie knowledge in MENA region. Consequently, this thesis recommends a framework for reducing cost, time and resources for complex buildings. The framework will integrate maintenance management, BIM and COBie standard by computerizing construction handover documents and by explaining how rules and guidelines can improve the enhancement of maintenance management. Furthermore, this framework needs to be further verified in future researches.
