Using BIM to integrate and achieve holistic future-proofing objectives in healthcare projects
journal contribution
posted on 2016-03-23, 13:29 authored by Ilias Krystallis, Peter DemianPeter Demian, Andrew PriceFuture proofing (FP) as a proactive initiative for Asset Management is an urgent need against
uncertainty, particularly in healthcare due to unforeseeable demographic shifts and rapid
advances in medical technology. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is another initiative
with profound impacts, but a rigorous analysis between them will indicate that a synergy exists.
The aim of this study is to develop a classification ontology of the interactions between FP and
BIM by considering the perceptions of healthcare construction experts. Interviews with 13
senior managers were conducted adopting the method of Interpretative Phenomenological
Analysis (IPA) and an interaction matrix of BIM capabilities for implementing holistic FP
objectives has been developed. The outcome is a taxonomy analysis of 30 interactions with
supporting empirical evidence which were further measured quantitatively. For benefits
realisation in the context of BIM and FP, the industry experts recognise FP as a strategy that
supports organisational and building performance. BIM drives towards lifecycle operation
information and data maintainability via communicating the FP strategy from a whole-life
perspective and ensuring knowledge transfer across all stages. Healthcare Operators and
construction experts should be able to benefit from this taxonomy analysis as an aid to planning
for FP throughout their BIM processes.
