management use at the end of construction. Throughout the operations and maintenance stage, refined, organized, and synchronized data are essential. Therefore, an FM-oriented DDMS with introduced function- alities can serve as the foundation to support all the data flow activities throughout the lifecycle, including collecting, refining, synchronizing, and managing. While the ISO 19650 series is still being finalized and its potential benefits to the asset management and BIM implementation lifecycle are still forthcoming, an FM-oriented DDMS would be the essential currently-available foundation to support the data flow and activities throughout the building’s lifecycle. GEORGE BROADBENT is Microdesk’s Vice President of Asset Management and has worked on a variety of projects including the rollout of Microdesk’s Maximo and Revit integration solution, ModelStream. George works closely with key stakeholders to identify strategies for asset management projects and manages the effort to build out new systems. DR.

Underneath that is the Model Development Level that illustrates the different models used for various development phases, including design model, construction model, as-built model, facility informa- tion model, and digital twin. A facility model is needed to gather the required information for asset management as mentioned previously with regards to the as-built model. The facility model can then trans- form into an operations maintenance digital twin. While digital twins are the current trend for operations and maintenance, they all require the upstream information to be effective. The first two levels are often discussed during the BIM implementation lifecycle, but they are only the shell. The backbone of the process resides in the data flow – the Data Development Level and Data Foundation. The s e are design and construction data created during the design delivery stage. These data need to be refined for the Facility Information Model for asset
