Facility Management (FM) is a critical discipline that ensures the built environment functions effectively, sustainably, and safely throughout its lifecycle. Traditionally, FM relied on manual processes, fragmented data, and reactive maintenance. Today, with the advent of Building Information Modelling (BIM), FM professionals have access to integrated digital tools that improve asset management, maintenance planning, and service delivery.

Globally, BIM is being used to transform FM by enabling data-driven decision-making, predictive maintenance, and integration with CAFM and IoT platforms. For South Africa, where organisations are seeking better efficiency and compliance in both public and private facilities, BIM-enabled FM provides a pathway to enhance performance, reduce lifecycle costs, and align with sustainability goals.

This masterclass equips ACPM members and allied professionals with a foundational understanding of FM principles and demonstrates how BIM empowers more strategic, transparent, and efficient facility operations.
