BIM and CMMS for IBS building maintenance in Malaysia

Abstract

Abstract IBS construction is gradually increasing in many building projects in Malaysia. The projects have involved modern, contemporary and innovation design for construction. The increase of demands for IBS construction every year indirectly contributes the building and infrastructure development but maintenance management however is poor, possesses low defect diagnosis and limited decision making process to repairing. These problems become more complicated in complex and high-rise building projects like Malaysia to which IBS building construction is practiced. Conventionally, the repairing maintenance method (fragmentation approach) has been criticized for serious unacceptable quality or productivity, budget and concept of the IBS building maintainability (reworks and delay). Therefore, a novel and more sophisticated technique is proposed for improving defect diagnosis and decision making process by employing BIM and CMMS integration in maintenance management on IBS buildings in Malaysia.
