Systematics for setting requirements and handing over operation and maintenance documentation

Background

The industry organization BEAst (Byggandets Elektroniska Affärsstandard) conducted a feasibility study in 2021 funded by SBUF (Swedish C onstruction Industry Development Fund). The investigation was based on the fact that all stakeholders from builders and administration to contractors and consultants experience major problems regarding requirements and deliveries of the documentation that is to be used to manage buildings and structures throughout the life cycle. The current standards in Sweden do not cover current and future needs.

Improved information flow

Standardized requirements will save time for demanding builders and lead to projects being able to quantify their deliveries in good time. A uniform system and nomenclature for information requirements and documents will form the basis for significantly more efficient and controlled processes and information flows. With clear systematics regarding the documentation requirements, these can be linked to the corresponding logic in BIM models to generate an AIM model as a basis for a Digital Twin. A Digital Twin that enables access to object data, documentation and real-time information from sensors.

Test and evaluation with practical application

Use the project results as a basis and basis for setting requirements for designers and construction contractors already in the design process to include the requirements for subcontractors and suppliers. Test and evaluation with practical application in pilot projects. Recycle the way from previous BEAst projects with clear instructions and illustrations as previous examples with BEAst Effektivare granskning, BEAst "Namnruta" and BEAst "Hänvisningar i handlingar". Also clarify the responsibility of who is responsible for the execution in various forms of contract and finances to receive operation and maintenance documentation prior to the handover.
