Unlocking 3D BIM’s Potential: 3DSMS for Efficient Space Management
In today’s world, data is king. Businesses, organizations, and even individuals are generating massive amounts of data every day especially in this era of industrial revolution 4.0. The application of information moved too fast and the conveyance process from one platform to another become one of the biggest challenges that need to cater especially in between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the space management sector. Due to inadequate interoperability issues between these information systems, significant financial losses will happen. Therefore, this study was conducted (i) to examine the status quo of the implementation of information management technology used in space management and to recognize emerging issues and (ii) to identify technical solutions to these problems based on a proposed framework. The ingenuity of this study is the overall design and functionalities of various components of an integrated BIM-space management portal solution that have not been so thoroughly defined by any previous studies concerning the current results in both theory and practice. The results demonstrate the offered solution by 3D Space Management System (3DSMS) to the current space management issues that are mostly related to the information connection and structure. This study also contributes to the existing body of knowledge in multiple aspects such as (i) it pinpoints the essential data needed for efficient space management and outlines the Levels of Detail (LoD) required for various project phases, (ii) it tackles the compatibility problems frequently faced when merging BIM with other systems and (iii) it introduces a thorough 3DSMS equipped with features for visualization, querying, and many more.
