Across the built environment, owners and operators are under pressure to deliver safer, more resilient, and cost-efficient assets. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is pivotal in this shift, especially on the operations side of the lifecycle. For Facility Management (FM) teams, BIM provides structured asset data, standardised documentation (e.g., ISO 19650), and integration pathways to CAFM/CMMS platforms – enabling preventive maintenance, compliance reporting, and data-driven decision-making. As South African organisations adopt digital twins and sensor-based monitoring, a firm grasp of BIM-forFM is now essential, not optional.

This masterclass equips ACPM members and allied professionals with a practical foundation in FM-centric BIM, showing how models mature from design and construction into maintainable, queryable operational datasets that support lifecycle performance.
