Real Project: BIM Execution Plan & Digital Twin Setup for a Facility Owner

A facility-owner-oriented case study — defining COBie-style FM data requirements before design begins, coordinating model authors to actually capture them, a model-to-CMMS handover pipeline, and verifying data completeness before a digital twin goes live.

About this module

The project brief: a hospital system delivering a new ambulatory care building wants a live digital twin connected to its CMMS at handover, not another PDF O&M binder assembled after the fact. This module walks the full effort the way a real BIM manager coordinating an owner-facing BEP would run it: defining facility-management data requirements alongside geometric LOD requirements at kickoff, a responsibility matrix assigning each asset category to the discipline that actually knows it, staged COBie extraction dry runs through design and construction, a four-stage model-to-CMMS handover pipeline, and a category-by-category turnover audit that catches gaps before the owner signs off.

The full data-requirements framework, the coordination and verification process, the handover pipeline, and the operational payoff once the twin is live — plus a realistic asset-category bill of materials and a six-question quiz — are part of the unlocked module below.
