CALL FOR PAPERS
In the implementation of the BIM concept, a range of lifecycle management issues continue to
challenge the Architectural, Engineering, Construction, Operations (AECO) domains. Most
commonly these challenges are related to sustainable building design, globalisation, outsourcing,
mass customisation, fast innovation, knowledge and information management, product
traceability and asset maintenance. In response, new business models based on an integrated
lifecycle approach are emerging, which include combinations of products and services that
address a stakeholder’s unique set of requirements throughout the whole building lifecycle – from
procurement to schematic design, to detailed design and systems integration, to fabrication and
construction, to operations, maintenance, and decommissioning/redevelopment. These throughlife challenges reinforce the potential capacity of a building lifecycle management (BLM)
concept, the need for greater collaboration, and an increased capacity for knowledge management
across the four principal AECO domains of the built environment. The focus on a through-life
perspective of BIM highlights its proximity to the Product Management (PLM) concept – a
strategic business approach for the effective management and use of corporate intellectual capital.
The evolution of BIM, the emergence of BLM, and their parallels with PLM offer opportunities
to extend current understandings of these concepts, introduce new areas of research, and develop
new scientific knowledge and technologies. The chairs would like to invite authors to submit
papers to the special session on BIM-enabled Building Lifecycle Management. The session seeks
to showcase new peer-reviewed work that advances knowledge of BIM, integrated business
approaches, and through-life management issues. Contributions are welcome in all aspects of
BIM, BLM and PLM concepts including but not limited to:
