The Benefits of 6D BIM for Landlords and Developers
In today’s rapidly evolving construction industry, 6D BIM (Building Information Modelling) is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for landlords and property developers. While most people are familiar with the power of 3D BIM for design and 4D BIM for scheduling, 6D BIM takes it a step further by integrating facility management and asset management into the model, creating a comprehensive digital twin of the building.
At Reltic BIM, we utilise 6D BIM to help landlords and developers streamline the management of their properties, enhance operational efficiency, and improve the long-term value of their investments. Here’s a closer look at how 6D BIM can benefit your projects.
What is 6D BIM?
6D BIM is an extension of BIM technology that incorporates facility management and sustainability data into the building model. It provides a digital representation of the building’s lifecycle, from design to construction and into its operational phase. By including detailed information about building systems, maintenance schedules, and energy efficiency, 6D BIM offers a wealth of data that landlords and developers can use to optimise building performance and reduce long-term costs.
With 6D BIM, every component of the building, from HVAC systems to light fixtures, is mapped in the digital model, along with relevant data such as maintenance history, replacement schedules, and energy usage.
How 6D BIM Benefits Landlords and Developers
1.Efficient Facility Management
For landlords, managing a building’s operations can be a complex task, especially when it involves multiple tenants, systems, and assets. 6D BIM simplifies this by providing a centralised digital model that contains all the data needed for efficient facility management. Whether it’s scheduling routine maintenance or keeping track of repairs, 6D BIM helps landlords manage the lifecycle of their building with ease.
At Reltic BIM, we ensure that all the critical data, from equipment manuals to maintenance schedules, is integrated into the 6D BIM model, making it easier to manage the building’s ongoing needs.
2.Enhanced Asset Management
6D BIM allows property developers and landlords to track the condition and performance of building assets over time. This includes everything from HVAC systems and elevators to windows and roofing materials. Having this information readily available in the BIM model allows landlords to anticipate when repairs or replacements will be needed, reducing downtime and avoiding unexpected costs.
By tracking asset performance over time, landlords and developers can make more informed decisions about when to invest in replacements or upgrades, maximising the lifecycle of their assets.
3.Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
Sustainability is a growing concern for developers and property owners. 6D BIM enables landlords and developers to assess the building’s energy efficiency and make informed decisions about how to improve it. The digital model can provide insights into the building’s energy consumption, water usage, and waste management, which can help reduce operational costs and improve the environmental impact of the property.
Using 6D BIM, we can help optimise the building’s performance, ensuring that it meets sustainability standards and offers long-term energy savings for tenants and owners.
4.Improved Project Handover
For property developers, 6D BIM can significantly improve the handover process after construction is complete. The model provides detailed as-built information that makes it easier to transition the building from construction to operation. This includes everything from warranty details for building systems to a full maintenance plan.
By providing a comprehensive digital twin of the building, 6D BIM ensures that landlords and property managers have all the information they need to operate the building efficiently right from the start, reducing the time spent on onboarding and reducing operational delays.
5.Cost Savings Over the Building’s Lifecycle
6D BIM doesn’t just save money during construction; it continues to deliver savings throughout the building’s lifecycle. By providing accurate data on building systems, maintenance schedules, and energy consumption, 6D BIM helps landlords and developers make smarter decisions that save money over the long term.
For example, 6D BIM can help reduce energy costs by identifying areas where the building’s systems could be more efficient. It can also reduce maintenance costs by ensuring that equipment is serviced before it fails, extending its lifespan and preventing costly repairs.
6.Improved Decision-Making
Having all the relevant data in one place allows landlords and developers to make better, more informed decisions about the property. Whether it’s assessing the need for renovations, planning for future upgrades, or evaluating the impact of energy-saving initiatives, 6D BIM provides the insights needed to optimise building operations and increase asset value.
With 6D BIM, you have access to real-time data that can help drive smarter decisions that enhance the value of your property and improve its performance.
