This document discusses Government Soft Landings (GSL) and its implications for facilities management from a BIFM perspective. It begins by defining Soft Landings as a process of graduated handover of a new building by the project team for up to three years post-completion. It then examines how GSL aligns with the RIBA Plan of Work stages and the role of FM at each stage. Key barriers to GSL implementation are identified as costs, language/cultural differences between teams, and lack of skills and data compatibility. The document concludes by arguing FM must be involved earlier in projects to ensure buildings meet operational needs.

This condensed slide presented was part of the March 2009 COBIE Challenge. Kimon Onuma, FAIA and others demonstrated how the Construction-Operation Building Information Exchange can help ease population of Building Information Models. In the presentation, Onuma says, 'In the COBIE demo you say, “Everything has a lat-long location down to the furniture and equipment." That simple sentence changes the potential of building industry to improve productivity and profitability on a dramatic level.

BIM and FM: Bridging the divide between AEC and ownerBe2camp Admin
Ìý
This document discusses how integrating building information modeling (BIM) and facility management (FM) helps owners access crucial building data. It presents two case studies where universities used BIM data to avoid manually recreating facility information and establish long-term maintenance plans. Xavier University streamlined data collection for a facilities plan, saving 4-6 months of work. MathWorks required detailed BIM deliverables to populate its asset management systems, leveraging design and construction data. Both projects highlighted the need to involve FM early to ensure usable BIM data delivery.
This document is a resume for Andrew Culpepper summarizing his experience and qualifications as a Project Manager for wireless network architecture projects. Over 16 years, he has managed projects involving Nokia and Ericsson UMTS/LTE infrastructure and technologies such as 1X-EVDO, UMTS, LTE, DAS, Small Cell and COWs. As a Senior Project Manager at AT&T Mobility from 2010-2015, he led installations and upgrades in Georgia, coordinating among various teams and vendors to meet milestones on schedule and on budget. Prior to that, from 2002-2010 at T-Mobile Miami, he managed cell site maintenance and upgrades as Operations Manager and Project Manager.
The document discusses the benefits of applying building information modeling (BIM) across the entire lifecycle of facilities from design through operations and maintenance. It describes how BIM can integrate various facility management systems to improve areas like maintenance, energy efficiency, and risk management. Maintaining an up-to-date lifecycle BIM is positioned as an important data foundation platform. Specific use cases and cost savings are highlighted for facilities management tasks like work orders when using BIM.
Richard Archer discussed the application of BIM in facilities management. He explained that traditional FM uses separate software that lacks integration, while BIM allows FM teams access to consistent and useful digital information. BIM benefits FM by providing accurate, timely data to relevant parties and improving collaboration. Emerging technologies like cloud computing, mobile/RFID, augmented reality, energy sensors, and 3D printing also support FM. YouBIM was presented as a solution to extract BIM data and metadata into a cloud-based FM platform, integrating data sources and translating information to asset management systems. This allows remote equipment access and monitoring from the YouBIM model.

The document discusses the future of building information modeling (BIM) being open rather than closed or proprietary. It notes that open, documented, and free formats like SQL and XML may be better communication formats for BIM going forward, rather than closed commercial options like Revit or ArchiCAD. The future of BIM is seen as being open like the internet, with open standards allowing building data to be used more flexibly across different analysis and design programs from multiple developers.

GIS provides significant benefits for civil engineering projects by allowing engineers to collect, analyze, and visualize large amounts of spatial data from various sources. GIS facilitates efficient and precise planning, environmental examination, design, construction, and project management. It enables civil engineers to perform tasks like site selection, transportation analysis, pollution analysis, and more by integrating data streams and conducting spatial analysis. Adopting GIS technology improves project processing for civil engineering companies by supporting activities from initial planning through final construction.

The use of BIM for Facility Management purposes, should not be considered from a mere FM point of view. The real power of such an implementation lies in the ability to predict not only the building cost using BIM, but also the maintenance and operating costs, and even the business operating costs, thus taking control over the biggest numbers of the 1-5-200 rule of thumb, often mentioned when designing (larger) buildings, but seldom shown in the figures when making a first estimate...

Abstract A key element of any software is to protect the software from various attacks and in case if any theft has occurred then the developer must be able to prove their ownership. Software Watermarking is one of the technique which helps in proving the authentication of the developer. A lot of research was done in Software watermarking but all this work is discussing on various embedding techniques of a software watermark into a program and the software watermark which was used for embedding is a serial number or a unique identification of the developer. In this paper a new methodology to obtain the software watermark, which is known as Version Based Software Watermark, is given. The remaining part of the paper discusses on the importance of the Version Based Software Watermark, properties of VBSW and evaluation results of the VBSW.
