Enhancing Maintenance Management for Buildings through Building Information Modeling in MENA Region

Abstract

Building maintenance and management are two sides for the same coin, which keep a building with the best quality during its life cycle time. Building management plays a role in covering the basic lines of security, cleanliness and implementing maintenance plans to reach the best performance and efficiency. Maintenance management has become one of the most important factors that help complex buildings to perform effectively. As a result, buildings life span has dramatically increased especially when using recent technology. Maintenance management has become more powerful where building information modeling (BIM) helped in making standards that allows maintenance managers to make sure that every component in the building is working effectively.
