Is CAFM software at an end if 6D BIM keeps getting better?

23 October 2023

The question of whether CAFM software is still relevant is raised by advances in BIM technology. There are unique aspects that CAFM systems can offer despite the increasingly better BIM 6D technology. For example, they enable comprehensive monitoring of buildings and support facility management. However, it can be observed on the market that BIM software (forgive the inaccuracy, yes, there is no such thing as "BIM software", it's a method, of course, but here it is anyway) is becoming increasingly popular.

BIM method and CAFM software: a view of the entire property life cycle

18 September 2023

The BIM method (Building Information Modelling) and CAFM software (Computer-Aided Facility Management) play a key role in the entire property life cycle. The BIM method makes it possible to create, visualise and manage extensive information about a building or facility. Studies show that many benefits can be realised through the integration of BIM and CAFM. The BIM method uses fundamental principles such as centralised data management and a model-based approach to manage the entire life cycle of a building.

The cost of not using CAFM

16 September 2023

Non-utilisation of CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) can have a significant financial impact on companies today. Inadequate management and monitoring of property resources can lead to inefficient space planning, maintenance deficiencies and increased energy consumption. These issues can have a direct impact on operational costs as organisations have to devote additional resources to rectifying errors and inefficient processes. In addition, they can also lead to a loss of productivity, as employees

What data should I enter in a CAFM System and how should I care for them?

13 September 2023

A CAFM system requires accurate and up-to-date information in order to function effectively. It is therefore important to know what data needs to be entered and how best to manage it. In addition to basic information such as building location and size, specific details such as the number of rooms, technical equipment and maintenance logs should also be recorded. Structured documentation of contracts, invoices and other relevant documents is also crucial. To ensure that
