Facility management and life-cycle costing are the real benefit of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management Industry (AEC/FM industry).
Despite “hype” BIM is currently at its lowest level of adoption and capability, typically limited in use to design vs. traditionnl CAD.
Hopefully BIM will shortly evolve to improve communication and partnering among owners, architects, engineers, and contractors, as well as reduce construction waste, expedite schedules and increase quality.
Currently there are numerous software “players” as follows, however, none are adequately addressing the facility management aspects of BIM:Revit® Series by Autodesk®. ArchiCAD® and Constructor® by Graphisoft, Bentley® BIM Nemetschek VectorWorks Architect®, Allplan FT®, DProfiler® , Affinity® Tekla Structures® , NavisWorks® Innovaya®.
While owners are aware of BIM methods and emerging technologies basic issues are preventing them from successfully implementing BIM. Lack of standardized capital planning and management practices and disparate legacy data are major hurdles as well as the need for new training and new software acquisition costs.
The ability to capture, preserve and reuse the data for facility management is critical to the success of BIM.

Very informative post. BIM will be influencing each and every Architectural in future.
