These tasks are onerous and error prone. Moreover they do not allow effective detection of design issues and validation of project information quality for handover which lead to waste of resources when performing maintenance and repairs during operations. Building Information Modeling has the potential to help owners overcome these challenges by enabling seamless exchange of project information between design construction and operations while supporting and proving opportunities for automated design reviews. However this practice has yet to fully take root in the industry due to its relative novelty. The research project presented in this paper set out to understand how owners could adopt and implement BIM to support design and information handover review. Two large public owner organizations were investigated over five years to support this aim. The findings are articulated around three levels of compliance for the owner’s project and BIM requirements. The findings on compliance review suggest three elements: model structure verification model content verification and design compliance review. These three elements rely on model queries which are identified through investigation of owner’s operational requirements. The presented research connects modeling practice to support facilities maintenance owner’s information requirements and owner’s design requirements and leverages this information for model based compliance review. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
