Building Lifecycle Management (BLM) is the practice of designing, constructing, and operating a facility with a single set of interoperable data.
BLM puts into practice a BIM Level 3 approach that enables a highly efficient Extended Collaboration process based on Manufacturing industry best practices.
BLM is operationalized via a robust Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)* system, which creates an efficient environment for coordinating complex AEC data.
[*The traditional Product Lifecycle Management term commonly becomes Project Lifecycle Management when applied to AEC.]
Adding BIM data to a PLM system creates a BLM system:
Benefits of BLM
BLM enables BIM Level 3 and can increase construction predictability, long-term value for project owners, and profitability for AEC project contributors.
