Appendix B-5: Model Use: Compile Record Model
Compile Record Model
Description:
A process to obtain information regarding the facility elements, surrounding conditions, and assets of a facility. The record model should, at a minimum, contain information relating to the architectural, structural, and MEP systems.
Potential Value:
- Enables easier modeling of future renovations
Improve documentation of environment for future uses, e.g., renovation or historical documentation
Provide the owner with an accurate model of the building, equipment, and spaces within a building to create possible synergies with other BIM Uses
Minimize physical documentation required for building turnover information
Enables integration of information with owner facility management systems
Resources Required:
- 3D model viewing software
- Model authoring software for any editable record model content
- Data analysis software for any information provided in data spreadsheet or database
Team Competencies Required:
- Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review 3D model
- Ability to use BIM modeling application for building updates
- Ability to thoroughly understand facility operations processes to ensure correct input of information
- Ability to effectively communicate between the design, construction, and facilities management teams
