ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to investigate how beneficial contemporary design-intent BIM deliverables could be to FM&O activities and what should be changed with regard to their structure and content for further development of FM&O-intent BIM hand-over. Deliverables of the detailed design phase of a middle-sized educational building were evaluated against requirements derived from a diverse set of resources and directives. The most crucial qualities for the detailed design BIM hand-over documents to be used in FM&O are general concerns about the overall structure of the models as well as classification, attributes and relations of objects. Flexibility and extensibility of the models is also decisive for suitability of the models for FM&O. A number of deficiencies and insufficiencies with the structure and content of the BIM deliverables of the case project have been disclosed. Findings could provide valuable insights for improving the quality of future BIM hand-over documents.
