The real excitement begins after the BIM project handover.
As clients transition into the operational phase, they start experiencing the benefits and efficiencies of a digital approach. The momentum builds as these advantages become apparent.
Key Steps for BIM Success Post-Handover
This is when the real fun begins, excitement and momentum build as clients begin to reap and report on the benefits and efficiencies realised by implementing a digital approach in the operational phase.

Plan and Structure
To maximise the benefits of BIM, ensure that you have the right data and information readily available. This involves a robust process for change management, which supports prompt decision-making and optimal outcomes for your business.
Cleanse and Manage Data
Effective data management is crucial. Having a central repository for all data helps eliminate silos and ensures that different departments can access the most current information. This is essential for maintaining operational efficiency and supporting various business functions.
Process and Report
A well-structured reporting process allows for efficient planning and management of maintenance activities. Utilise BIM data to:
- Report on planned maintenance
- Share information across departments
- Support new projects
- Optimise space planning and usage
- Access performance data instantly
- Generate automated survey condition reports for capital planning
Action and Optimise
With a digital twin, you gain real-time insights into your operations, enabling better decision-making and continuous improvement. The digital twin provides a live feed of current conditions, helping you plan and optimise effectively.
Overcoming Common Challenges
1. Addressing Missing Information
At handover, missing information is a common issue. It’s important to address this promptly to avoid delays in future projects. Implementing a robust process for information gathering and validation can help mitigate these challenges.
2. Managing Data Migration
Migrating project handover data to your CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) system can be complex. Simplify this process by ensuring compatibility with existing enterprise systems and maintaining strict change control measures.
3. Tackling Large Tasks
Breaking down large tasks into manageable steps can make the process less daunting. Focus on incremental improvements and make use of your data to drive business decisions effectively.
Strategic Questions for Improvement
- What makes your business tick?
- How can you improve processes and increase efficiency?
- How can you reduce reactive maintenance?
Consider solutions like work order management and automated task scheduling to streamline operations. Address data inconsistencies to enhance reporting and capitalise on opportunities for better budget management and space utilisation.
