Abstract

In the digital era, the application of new technologies, specifically information technology, has led to the development of building information modelling (BIM), a new technology that helps the construction management industries address current challenges. The level of development (LOD) and precision of BIM data throughout a project play a pivotal role in guaranteeing the triumph of building endeavours and asset management. The determination of the amount of depth and quality of BIM information plays a crucial role in influencing all aspects of a project and the lifespan of building assets. Therefore, this study aims to ascertain the frequency of components used for asset management drawing from a pilot project in Vietnam and to suggest the need for LOD components in facility management (FM). Expert polls, input from building operations managers and a literature review of LOD decision plans and BIM standards led to the conclusion that BIM was the most suitable approach for this objective. Two questionnaire surveys and an expert interview with key personnel from owners, contractors and consultants were conducted. The survey results table, which shows the substructure, superstructure and interior component categories, shows that the study results advise on how often to use different types of construction information. A framework is suggested that outlines the LOD and implementation model for the building of the database and the development of future studies. In the long term, the conceptual model promotes the transfer of knowledge from one project to another.
