Abstract
The implementation of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology in the construction industry, namely in the maintenance sector, has contributed to increasing the quality of buildings sustainability. In this context, several systems have been developed, integrating the BIM concept and Facility Management (FM) activity. The study presents a comparative analysis of the available BIM-FM tools, aimed at the capacity of assessing and managing data, the correctness of data transfer between platforms, the evaluation of the interoperability level and the costs involved in equipment acquisition and employees training. The novelty of the research is supported on the use of web/QR integrated tools as Archibus software, on the elaboration of COBie documents, and on the creation of Dynamo scripts to perform the extraction of information from the BIM model database to the Excel software. In the study, the main benefits and limitations were identified and carried out from a comparative analysis.
