Abstract
A good object documentation is a prerequisite for a sustainable economic facility
management. In practice, however, there is a regular problem to record the data
necessary for optimum support. The difficulty of data transfer of a building occurs not
only at the interface at the beginning of the takeover of a property, but also begins at the
planning stage and runs through the entire life cycle. Within the scope of this scientific
study, the different technical possibilities of the data acquisition process of plants in
buildings with regard to BIM-based implementation are critically examined and
recommendations for the economic optimization of the subsequent data collection of a
case study are summarized.
INTRODUCTION
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is already successfully used in the
planning and construction phase. The great difficulty is still to transfer the data from the
implementation phase into the operating phase. Annette von Hagel still describes the loss
of information at this interface as "frightening" (Herrmann and Maria 2015). An even
greater challenge is the subsequent implementation of a BIM within the operating phase.
In the case of long-standing objects, there have been increasing rebuilding and
modification measures in the past, which are often not fully recorded and documented
by the previous or prior facility management service provider. As a result, a complete
new measuring of the inventory becomes inevitable within the operating phase. In
addition to the high costs of the new version, the time pressure involved in the data
collection process entails additional risks for the acquired information content.
Therefore, the implementation of Barcode and Radio Frequency Identification RFID as
well as a technical overview of the data acquisition systems for the creation of a 3D
model will be briefly explained. The aim is not only to implement the BIM method, but
also to ensure data updating using technical methods. Because the BIM must be
maintained continuously and consistently with up-to-date data in order not to lose its
effectiveness.

When implementing new techniques and methods, the service provider has to
lose out. Within the short contract periods of 3-5 years, his investment has to be
amortized, which is the greatest challenge. The connection of existing processes to BIM
as well as the acceptance of the employees to open up new processes is additional
challenges. For BIM in the planning and construction phase, there are many works made
about the cost reduction. For the transfer or creation of a BIM within the operating
phase, there is little information on the economic viability. This is of crucial interest
because a BIM contains the basic data that also CAFM system needs (Motammedi et al.
2014). For this reason, an investigation is carried out specifically for this case, which
focuses on the profitability of a BIM during the operating phase. An office building (KG
- 6.OG) with an entire Gross Floor Area GFA 10,083.99 m2 serves as a reference object.
For this purpose, the analytical procedure for determining the basic costs (for example,
software, training) and 3D modeling costs as well as the benefits are explained in detail
at the reference object. Finally, the results are analyzed with regard to the amortization
time and the modified internal rate of return. This is also done for the data acquisition
technicians Barcode and RFID, whereby the BIM implementation is followed in detail.
STRUCTURE OF THE ANALYSIS
The focus is on cost-effectiveness. It describes the valuation at market prices and
is the ratio of monetary valuation of goods and the production factor, which is why
economic analysis is carried out in accordance with GEFMA 460 (Kuhlmann 2016). The
basis for GEFMA 460 (Kuhlmann 2016) is the demand for an economic analysis for
CAFM systems, which can be implemented on a monetarily measurable basis, as well
the apply at methods for supplementing and expanding CAFM-Systems. Accordingly,
BIM is understood as a supplement to the CAFM system because the CAFM system has
already been adapted for the FM processes and is strongly rooted in the business
processes. In particular, a BIM can't replace the CAFM-System, but it can increase the
profitability of a CAFM system (Herrmann and Maria 2015). For the Barcode and RFID
technicians the structure of the profitability analysis according to GEFMA 460
(Kuhlmann 2016) can also be used.
BASE COSTS OF BIM, BARCODE AND RFID
For the barcode and RFID technology are also used to calculate the basic costs,
which consist of costs for labels / tags, readers, software, training, licensing and
implementation. This results in a basic cost for barcode of 21,636.60 € and for RFID
44,382.10 €. The reference object is supervised by an object manager and two technicians.
The object manager already has the necessary hardware, so that the technician still needs a
hardware package. For the training the object manager and a technician are registered,
who pass their learned to the second technician. The relevant costs are determined by
research (see Table 1) (Issa and Giel 2013; Qian 2012). For the final assessment of
profitability, a distinction is made between one-off and ongoing costs. The decisive cost
factor is the subsequent 3D modeling and the storing of the necessary information
(semantics), which is described in more detail below.

Semantics and 3D-Modeling. For BIM modeling, the cost of data collection is
first determined. The table of "State Construction Management Lower Saxony"
(Lower 2002) serves as the basis. The costs [€/m2] for geometry and building
technology are subdivided according to data acquisition, takeover from planning
documents and complete new full measuring. The reference object is also
subdivided into GFA Building technology (709,93 m2) and GFA Building
geometry (9.374,06 m2) and applied to the table. This results of the recording for
the referencing object costs are shown in Table 2. For the reference object, real
costs are available for a complete new full measuring of the building technology
for the Technical Facility Management (TFM). The costs include the recording
and storage in the CAFM system and amounts to 5.520,00 €. Compared to Table 2
(3,230.18 €), the actual costs are 41,50% higher. On the basis of missing
information on the development of the table of State Construction Management
Lower Saxony (Lower 2002), the real costs are used for the further calculations.
In addition, the office building is used as a research facility and thus has an
increased technical equipment, which justifies the increased costs.

For the cost estimation of the 3D modeling of the reference object, will gone
back to realized projects of the Swiss company dapgrouph GmbH (The costs for
industrial plant and commercial properties are based on company data from
Switzerland. It is worth mentioning the differences in wage- and salary costs in
Switzerland compared to Germany. For simplicity, the costs are converted into euros.
Price: 1 CHF ≡ 0,92 € on 21.06.2016) and to the internal elaboration for 3D
modeling of an office building. The 3D models of dapgrouph GmbH are an industrial
building and a commercial property, which were created using 3D laser scanners. For
the internal elaboration, reference is used to as-built documentation. Thereby
elements such as the outer facade are neglected and a level of development (LOD) of
200 for the geometry and for the technical equipment a LOD 350 is used.
For the comparison with Table 2, the estimate [€/m2] is sufficient, but a
distinction is made between external (on-site recording) and internal service
(modeling in the office) in the case of laserscan-based recording. The available data
of dapgrouph GmbH only include the time required for the recording. In addition,
in the case of the laser-scan-based as-built documentation is not the area, but rather
the surface occupancy decisive. The more plants, pipes, etc. on one area, the higher
is the modeling effort. This circumstance makes a further estimation in [€/h]
mandatory. For this purpose, the HPM-Measurement GmbH is used, which, from
experience, divides the modeling process into the ratio of internal to external
service. At simple buildings, are required for 1-day field service 2-3 days in-house
service and for complex buildings up to 10 days in-house service. For the
conversion of the practice data, a ratio of 1/10 is assumed for the industrial plant,
and a ratio of 1/5 for the industrial estate due to the mixture of office and
production. Table 3 shows the data used and the computation steps carried out, up
to the units [€/m2] and [€/h]. If the laser-scan-based modeling is compared with one
another, it becomes clear that in this case the cost estimation in [€/m2] is sufficient.
The complete 3D modeling of the industrial plant is a factor of ~ 2.5 more
expensive both in the unit [€/m2] and in [€/h]. If the laser-scan-based modeling is
compared with one another, it becomes clear that in this case the cost estimation in
[€/m2] is sufficient. The complete 3D modeling of the industrial plant is a factor of
~ 2.5 more expensive as the commercial property both in the unit [€/m2] and in
[€/h]. This means that the further calculation with the unit [€/m2] is sufficient and
no further assumption for the time required for the model production of the
reference object can be dispensed with. The ratio specification in comparison with
the office building is omitted. The data collection and modeling is too different and
can lead to erroneous results.
Due to the large discrepancies, the costs for economic analysis are further
subdivided into costs resulting from internal modeling and costs incurred by an external
service provider. In order to calculate the modeling of the reference building, the factors
for the commercial property and the office building. Since no further data on the
information content of the models are given, the costs of the real data acquisition are
added to the costs of 3D modeling. This ensures the completeness of the BIM model for
the operating phase (see Table 4).

Verification of the assumptions. Compared with Table 2, the costs for internal
modeling (€ 7,234.27) are more favorable than the minimum costs for the transfer from
the as-built documentation (€ 9,899.26). The lower costs are due to the neglect of
individual components (e.g. outer facade). The external model creation (40.108,09 €)
is in the area of the minimum and maximum costs for the completely new data
acquisition (34.995,50 € - 61.818,06 €). Choi and Kang (2015) provide further proof of
the correctness of the assumptions for external modeling. They use for an optimized
data exchange, BIM as a data base, and examine a BIM Perspective Definition (BPD)
data exchange structure. There is no information about the type (planning documents,
TLS) or depth (LOD) of the model creation, as well as the object size, only the
breakdown of the investment costs shows the individual components and their costs.
Although investment costs are different in the cost sum and the additional components
(e.g. server costs), BIM model creation is the key cost factor of 65% of the total

investment. In addition, the BIM model is made available to various subscribers (e.g.,
owners, facility managers, fitters), which is why it can be assumed to be a complete as
built documentation rather than a reduced internal modeling. This allows the
comparison of the external BIM modeling costs determined here with Choi and Kang
(2015). The review of the external modeling costs for the reference object
corresponding to 67% of the total investment and differ only by 2% to Choi and Kang
(2015). Thus, the cost estimation of the external modeling can be used for the
profitability analysis.
OBJECT-SPECIFIC EFFICIENCIES
The efficiencies are the decisive factors, they can differ strongly from object to
object. In addition to the qualitative benefits such as improved documentation quality
and increased transparency, the focus is on the monetary effiencies. To this end, current
incidents at the reference object are investigated and their benefits are monetarized. The
total of ten benefits are summarized:
BIM. (1) Start-Up-Phase. (2) Localization. (3) Fire dampers. (4) Plant information. (5)
Digital documentary diary. (6) Emergency reduction. (7) Employee availability. (8)
Employee entering/exiting.
RFID. (9) Reduction of administrative. (10) Reduction of administrative. (11) Costs
for fire dampers. (12) Costs for all other benefits.
For the Barcode application, only qualitative benefits can be determined here. In
the case of the RFID application, a reduction in administrative expenses of 30% is
assumed. This value was achieved by Fraport AG during the RFID implementation at
Frankfurt Airport (Hahnhart 2008). The procedure for BIM is explained at the selected
case (2) Localization. The other efficiencies are listed in Table 5 for the calculation. For
this purpose, the country-specific hourly rates as well as surcharges for night, sun and
holiday work are used.
Localization: The search for plants and components is not necessary because
the elements are located in the BIM. Current incident: Carrying out maintenance of
pipe separators by a technician. Two pipe separators are not found after an hour.
Assumption: An hour search time can be avoided with every maintenance and
inspection (fire protection flap excluded). This effect cannot be assumed over all three
years. Because the technicians will know better about the locations of the plants after
each maintenance and inspection. The value can only be set to 100% at the change of
personnel (but is not taken into account during the years because the worst case is
investigated). Therefore 100% in the first year, 60% in the second year and 30% in the
third year. This results in a cost reduction of € 12,328.00 € in the first year.
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
According to GEFMA 460 (Kuhlmann 2016), the benefits in the first three
years are reduced because the new techniques and applications have to be learned

and implemented by the personnel. Since a CAFM introduction affects the entire
company structure and a BIM introduction is decisive for the operational area, the
utilization effects are set to 80% in the first year and 100% as of the second year. In
addition, the economic analysis of the BIM method is divided into four variants.
These are listed depending on the modeling and cost carriers (service providers or
owners):
Variant 1: BIM outside. The service provider allows the BIM model to be created by
an external provider due to non-existent resources and assumes the costs.
Variant 2: BIM in-house. This model serves merely the process optimization of the
service provider, which is why simplified modeling is assumed here. The primary
objective is the positioning of the plants.
Variant 3: BIM owner. The owner lets the model create for himself and provides the
BIM model to the service provider.
Variant 4: data from BIM. The owner owns a BIM model and hands the
alphanumeric data to the service provider. Mandatory and for calculating the investment
costs of 1,00 € are scheduled.
The matrix (see Figure 1) shows the composition of the costs and benefits as well
as the results of the calculations carried out. For the sake of completeness, Table 5 shows
the detailed computation steps for Variant 1. All other variants were calculated according
to the matrix and the calculation steps in Table 5.

CRITICAL CONSIDERATION OF RESULTS.
Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 01/03/19. Copyright ASCE. For personal use only; all rights reserved.
For the introduction of the BIM method at the reference object, the results
(subject to the property specific effects) are positive for all variants. The relevant case is
variant 1: BIM external, in which the service provider externally assigns the BIM
modeling and bears the complete costs himself. Amortization is achieved at the
beginning of the third year. The greatest benefit is the entry or exit of the employee in
the first year. If this incident does not occur, the costs do not pay for the period of 3
years. Comparing the payback period of 2.09 years with Choi and Kang (2015), the cost
is amortized 0.53 years later. The difference is due to the improved provision of relevant
data by BPD. Variant 2 BIM-Intern is the most interesting for the service provider. Using
the BIM modeling with the data relevant to the service provider, the internal processes
are optimized with a low modeling effort. If applicable, the model can also be sold to the
following service provider. Variant 3 not only illustrates the advantage for the service
provider but also represents the transition from the building phase to the operating
phase. Compared to the amortization time from variant 1, it is clear how large and
cost-intensive the data loss is at this point. If the existing model or existing data is not
made available to the operator or is not present at all. Variant 4 Data from BIM, illustrate
the relevance of current data and the need for constant care. Even without the 3D
modeling, but only through tables and current data, a cost reduction can be achieved.
In this case, no monetary value can be determined for the barcode. However, this
does not suggest a fundamental rejection. In practice, Barcodes are often used. In this
case, a complete new investment is being investigated. Large companies already have a
well-developed IT infrastructure, which means that the Barcode is a cost-effective
expansion of the system and is used to clearly identify plants.
The result of the pure RFID introduction confirms the prevailing opinion in the
practice that the RFID technology is not economical for the short period of time.
Considering at this point the qualitative advantage, the barcode of RFID is preferred.
From the point of view of the owner, an RFID introduction can be an advantage. By
means of a separate RFID reader, the owner can inspect the performed maintenance and
inspections in a spot-on-spot manner. A further advantage is the long amortization period
that he owns. In addition, it must be mentioned that the 30% requirement of Fraport AG
can’t be met on all projects. The value depends on the correct implementation of the
implementation and the connection to the CAFM system. In the case of poor
performance, the value of 30% can be well below the value and in the worst case, more
effort than benefit can be generated.
CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK
The study clearly shows that a retroactive BIM implementation is amortized
within the 3-year contract term. The analytical approach of the economic analysis clearly
shows how costs and benefits are calculated and how they are checked for their
correctness. The determining factor for the costs is the BIM modeling which here
corresponds to 67% of the total costs. Decisive for profitability are the benefits which
can differ significantly from one object to another and therefore have to be examined in

detail for each object. The view of the user also has a decisive role (variant 1 - variant 4).
If the FM service provider creates the model, he will only adapt it to his processes in
order to keep costs as low as possible. If the owner creates the model, a detailed and
complete BIM is of interest. The various parties as well as subcontractors can be
provided and thereby serve also as a central database, in the change directly can be filed.
This results in new contract agreements and business models which aim to continually
provide BIM with up-to-date data. It is only when the BIM has up-to-date data that it can
be used successfully, thereby increasing the profitability and efficiency of the CAFM. In
this context, the Barcode and RFID technology was investigated, with the result, that no
amortization was achieved within the three years. However, the connection to a BIM can
ensure the availability of up-to-date data and thus achieve an enormous qualitative
benefit.
