Building maintenance is gaining an increasing attention in the field of scientific
research and there was a need for the use of new technologies in maintenance
management, , as the facility management deal with a large amount of information relatin
g
to maintenance, which includes drawings and specifications, lists, and reports, and the use
of paper files leads to decrease the efficiency and create a shortage of data and information.
We offer in this research tool to manage the maintenance process by using the BIM
through linking deterioration models and three-dimensional model of the facility to be
maintained, then compensate the external investigation data for maintenance work in these
models, to get at the end of this research and with the help of the possibilities offered by
Revit database to an upcoming maintenance items and arrange them according to their
importance and impact on the facility , the estimated budget for the periodic maintenance
and distribution of this budget on the various construction elements , the development of
resources plan for next year and up to the knowledge database of maintenance will help in
determining the supplier lifecycle and the coefficient of replacement.
Building maintenance is gaining an increasing worldwide recognition in many
fields of study.as a result; a remarkable shift in building maintenance management from
preventive approach to predictive approach is taking a place now a days. That is ach
ievable
through building of an evaluative model to assess a variety of alternative decisions and
make the right decisions, taking in the consideration building condition and the available
budget for maintenance.
In Syria, there is lack of effective building maintenance for governmental buildings
because we use an approach depends on doing the work after the fault happened, that leads
to deteriorating in the all building's parts.
In this paper, we study maintenance reasons and importance degree for every single
components by designing questionnaire, divide the building in to its essential parts and
components, and link them to maintenance works.
At the end, we get mathematical models called deterioration models assist in
predictable maintenance works and distributing the budget, and to make sure about validity
of these models we apply them in the dormitory in Tishreen University.
