BIMFMI

Turn your BIM data into a usable, structured, and verified asset that supports operations - not just design and construction.

What is BIMFMI?

BIMFMI™ stands for Facilities Maintenance Information - a structured, proven approach developed by Summit BIM to ensure that the data in your BIM models is accurate, complete, and ready for long-term facility management.

It’s more than a checklist. It’s a method that aligns asset data with real-world operational needs, ensuring that your facilities team receives data they can trust, use, and maintain from day one.

“BIM is a process that involves people, processes, policy, and technology. It’s the intersection of all four, and if you don’t address each one, you’ll fail your digital transformation."

GERALDINE RAYNER Managing Principal, Summit BIM

BIM Often Ends at Construction - That’s a Problem

Most BIM models are built for design and coordination. At turnover, owners are left with files full of irrelevant or incomplete information, missing key data needed for daily operations.

Worse, facilities teams often abandon BIM entirely, reverting to paper binders or patchwork spreadsheets because they don’t trust the data or don’t know where to find it.

BIMFMI™ solves this by defining exactly what information should be delivered, who is responsible, and how it maps into your FM systems.

Get More Than Just a Model

Without BIMFMI, you risk handing over a digital asset no one uses. With it, you empower your operations team to:

  • Access critical data early during construction
  • Develop preventative maintenance plans that support efficient maintenance
  • By having the correct information at the right time supports extending the building performance and life cycle
  • Eliminate the chaos of post-construction data cleanup

Summit BIM guides you through every step - from defining your requirements to delivering verified, FM-ready models at handover.

Proven in Canada’s Most Demanding Environments

BIMFMI™ has been successfully implemented on large-scale institutional and healthcare projects across Canada ensuring that facilities teams receive complete, structured data at turnover.

In one project for a major health authority, Summit BIM tracked over 18,000 assets with zero data gaps - six times more than industry norms, and fully integrated into the FM system.

No matter the country your in, Summit BIM can turn your data into a long-term asset.
