360 Asset Insights - The 6D BIM Advantage
Integrate facilities management and sustainability data into BIM models for lifecycle asset management, energy analysis, and operational cost tracking.
What's Included
Here's what we deliver when you engage us for 6D BIM integration.
Intelligent Asset Data
Embed maintenance schedules, warranty information, and operational specifications directly into BIM elements for seamless facility handover.
Sustainability Analysis
Track energy consumption, carbon footprint, and environmental performance metrics throughout the building lifecycle.
Lifecycle Cost Planning
Forecast long-term operational expenses, replacement cycles, and maintenance budgets for informed asset management decisions.
Our 6D BIM Process
How we integrate facilities management data into your BIM models.
Data Collection
We gather equipment specifications, O&M manuals, BIM models, CAD documents from your facility team and consultants. Where 3D information is missing, we can use Scan to BIM to capture existing conditions.
BIM Data Integration
Our specialists embed asset data, sustainability metrics, and maintenance schedules into the BIM model using COBie standards and FM-ready formats.
FM Platform Handover
We deliver the 6D BIM model with integrated facility data, ready for import into CAFM/CMMS platforms for ongoing asset management.
6D Asset Management Software
We integrate BIM models with facilities management and sustainability software for comprehensive asset lifecycle management.
6D BIM Workflows
How we integrate operational intelligence into your BIM models.
Smart Asset Documentation
Embed COBie-compliant data into BIM elements including equipment specifications, maintenance requirements, and warranty details. Generate facility handover packages with complete operational intelligence.
Energy & Sustainability Metrics
Integrate energy analysis data, carbon calculations, and environmental certifications (Green Mark, LEED) into the BIM model for comprehensive sustainability reporting and compliance.
Multi-site Facility Management
Manage facilities across multiple sites through integrated BIM and geospatial platforms. Track maintenance events by location, identify problematic assets across portfolios, and access real-time operational data for faster response and resolution.
Frequently asked questions
- What is 6D BIM and how is it different from 5D BIM?
- 5D BIM focuses on construction cost and schedule. 6D BIM extends this to facilities management, adding operational data like maintenance schedules, energy performance, and asset lifecycle information.
- Do you follow COBie standards for facility data?
- Yes, we structure facility data using COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) standards to ensure compatibility with CAFM/CMMS platforms.
- Can you integrate sustainability certifications like Green Mark?
- We can embed sustainability metrics, energy analysis data, and certification requirements (Green Mark, LEED, BREEAM) into the 6D BIM model for compliance tracking and reporting.
- What software platforms can receive the 6D BIM data?
- Our 6D BIM models can export to common CAFM/CMMS platforms including Archibus, IBM Maximo, and FM:Systems. We also provide data in COBie Excel format for platform-agnostic handover.
