Real estate operation with apps
BPS International, one of the pioneers and recognized leaders in the field of BIM, released a new mobile application for real estate operation with the help of BIM technologies. The product demonstrates the benefits of BIM using the example of the Munich office of BPS International.
The mobile app makes it possible to “walk” around the office space from every spot on the globe and thus ensures an instantaneous access to the information model. With a touch of a finger we can see the engineering systems hidden in the ceiling and walls. There is a joystick on the screen that should be used for moving within the office space. This technology allows us to get exhaustive information about the characteristics and parameters of the equipment, its cost, brand, stock number, warranty period, replacement terms and other. The creation of BPS International illustrates that it only takes to possess a tablet to operate the facility even at a distance.
Nowadays information technologies make a revolution in real estate, though building information modeling (BIM) is mainly used during the planning and construction phase. However information projection has a considerably wider range of tasks. The information model can serve the facility owner within the whole life cycle of the building, allowing to effectively manage the staff, to save energy resources, to organize and facilitate the access to financial and technical information. BIM allows to simulate any processes going on within the facility, including its re-equipment and reconstruction, as well as to make predictions, calculations and similar. Quite soon mobile applications that connect facility management experts with the information model will be the main helpers to operational services.
