Abstract

Building maintenance is considered to be the cornerstone of modern management systems for newly
established projects. One of the reasons is that it plays an important role in reducing maintenance cost
and increasing the lifetime of project components. However the lack of sufficient studies, lack of
awareness and lack of coordination with different disciplines on a project delivery process affect
maintenance managers and staff on having accurate and specific information needed for a project
components, which leads to waste of resources, time and indirect cost of a project, While
technological development gives one of the most popular systems which is known as building
information modeling (BIM) as a new tool to support maintenance management. Thus, the main
objective of this paper is to identify the impact of integrating building information modeling with
maintenance management, whether this integration would be useful for stakeholders or would it help
in reducing project budget and save time or not. The research methodology involved a literature
review study on this topic. Where it is found that maintenance managers can reach the higher quality
and better performance for a project by using BIM tools, data required and process. Furthermore, such
integration has proved to be a great value regarding the efficiency of the maintenance management
process, eliminating waste of time, rework and sequentially cost reduction.
