As facilities grow more complex and digitally integrated, traditional management methods are no longer sufficient to ensure efficiency, safety, and long-term performance. Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies offer a dynamic platform where facility data, live sensors, and operational workflows converge to create real-time, intelligent insights.

Technologies such as digital twins, IoT-enabled monitoring, and BIM-linked dashboards allow facility managers to move from reactive to proactive strategies. These tools enable predictive maintenance, better asset utilisation, and data-driven decision-making across the facility lifecycle. In South Africa and beyond, the integration of BIM technologies into FM practices is becoming a differentiator for organisations seeking to meet compliance, ESG commitments, and competitive efficiency benchmarks.

This masterclass introduces participants to the latest BIM technologies for Facility Management, offering practical demonstrations of how to integrate tools, workflows, and standards (such as COBie and IFC4) into everyday FM practice. It also highlights opportunities for digital adoption, ensuring participants are equipped to lead transformation in their own organisations.
