Abstract: This research seeks to advance the technological process of 3D digitization in built environments and streamline management processes in the construction sector through digital methodologies. To this end, an integration framework is proposed that combines geographic information systems (GISs) and building information modeling (BIM) digital models, specifically for simulating building facilities maintenance management. Although the proposed methodology is applicable across various geographical contexts and building typologies, to ensure clarity in its development, it was applied to a specific case study. For this purpose, a 3D GIS model was created for one of the campuses of the University of Cantabria in Santander, Spain, along with a BIM model for one of its university buildings.
Using these integrated models, facility management was simulated within a 3D environment
via a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The findings indicated that GIS and
BIM digital models could indeed be integrated through straightforward linking mechanisms without
compromising the efficiency of information synchronization and management. When comparing
2D facility management approaches with 3D formats, the advantages of 3D visualization became
clear. This three-dimensional representation allowed for a more intuitive understanding of spatial
dynamics and interactions, facilitating quicker identification of potential issues and more efficient
maintenance operations. Consequently, integrating these advanced digital models not only optimizes
operational efficiency but also fosters a collaborative environment, fundamentally transforming
building facilities management.
