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.
