dc.description.abstractWhile considering Facilities Management (FM) at the early design stage could potentially reduce the efforts for maintenance during the operational phase of buildings, few efforts in the construction industry have integrated FM into the design phase. Thus, this study assesses the readiness of Architects to adopt BIM towards providing FM information for enhancing operation and maintenance of buildings. A case study of the COBie extension of Revit Architecture 2015 was used to extract some information subsequently used to design a structured questionnaire. Data was fetched from 54 Architecture firms in Kaduna. The readiness of Architectural firms' to providing FM information for BIM towards facilitating effective operation and maintenance based on the extracted features or components (in Revit architecture) was assessed. The readiness assessments result shows that all information required extracted from COBie extension are significant (with Relative Index; RI of all factors studied > 0.44) towards facilitating effective operation and maintenance in FM. Furthermore, while the potential benefits of providing FM information using BIM from early design stage has high significance in facilitating effective FM operations, the barriers of providing FM information using BIM from early design stage also has significance in facilitating effective FM operations. However, although results show that both benefits and barriers have significance, the significance of the benefits outweigh that of the barriers (RI for all factors > 0.75). The study concludes that, a holistic integration of players in building project delivery at an early stage of the design process may enhance the fragmented nature of collaboration and enhance effective FM during operations and maintenance of buildings.
