BIM Lifecycle Support: Activate Your Data from Handover to Operations

The construction is finished, and the keys have been handed over. Along with them, you receive a highly detailed BIM model—a digital goldmine of data. But for most facility managers, this is where the value stops. The data is often disorganized, inaccessible, and disconnected from the day-to-day reality of running a building. At DBAssets, we focus on creating solutions that make your work feel better. Our Lifecycle Support feature was built to solve this exact problem, transforming your static BIM file into a living, breathing digital twin that empowers your team from handover through the entire operational life of your facility.

Centralized Asset Intelligence

Access warranties, manuals, and service histories for any asset by simply clicking on it within the 3D model.

Data-Driven Capital Forecasting

Make confident, long-term budget decisions using accurate lifecycle cost analysis based on real-world performance data.

Bridge the Gap Between Construction and Operations

There’s a well-known “digital cliff” in our industry. At project handover, the immense value captured in the BIM during design and construction is often lost in translation. Facility management teams are left with a data file they can’t easily use, forcing them back to inefficient paper manuals and spreadsheets. This disconnect means you’re managing your most valuable assets with incomplete information, leading to slower response times, higher operational costs, and a constant cycle of reactive problem-solving. DBAssets bridges this critical gap. We provide the tools to seamlessly ingest, structure, and activate your handover data, making it immediately useful for your operations and maintenance teams. Instead of letting your BIM model gather digital dust, our platform turns it into the central nervous system for your building—a reliable, single source of truth that grows more valuable over time.

From a Static Model to a Living Digital Twin

A true digital twin is more than just a 3D model; it’s a dynamic replica of your physical asset, enriched with live operational data. Our Lifecycle Support feature makes this a reality. By connecting your as-built model to your maintenance logs, operational data, and documentation, DBAssets creates a comprehensive digital asset that evolves with your building. This living model gives you an unparalleled understanding of your facility’s health, performance, and history, empowering you to manage it more effectively than ever before.

Features That Power Your Asset Lifecycle

Our platform is engineered to unlock the long-term value of your building information. We provide a suite of intelligent tools that automate tedious tasks and deliver actionable insights, helping you streamline operations from day one.

Intelligent Data Mapping

Forget the nightmare of manually sorting through handover files. DBAssets intelligently ingests standard data formats like COBie, automatically mapping crucial information—such as serial numbers, installation dates, and warranty details—directly to the corresponding elements in your BIM. This ensures your data is structured, searchable, and instantly usable by your entire team.

Preventative Maintenance Scheduler

Shift from a reactive to a proactive maintenance strategy. Our system uses the manufacturer's data and operational requirements linked to each asset to help you generate and manage preventative maintenance schedules. Automatically create work orders, track completion, and build a complete service history for every piece of equipment, reducing unexpected failures and extending asset life.

Transform Your Digital Handover Process

A successful building lifecycle begins with a flawless handover. Our platform streamlines this critical phase by providing a structured environment to receive, verify, and organize all contractor data. By ensuring that information is complete and correctly formatted from the start, DBAssets eliminates the data gaps and inconsistencies that typically plague facility management teams. This means your team can be effective from day one, equipped with a complete and trustworthy digital record of every asset in your facility.

Empower Maintenance Teams with Actionable Data

Give your maintenance technicians the information they need, right when they need it. With DBAssets, a technician standing in front of an air handling unit can use a tablet to simply tap the unit in the 3D model and instantly access its full history: installation date, warranty information, service manuals, and a complete log of past repairs. This instant access to information drastically reduces diagnostic time, prevents errors, and empowers your team to resolve issues faster and more effectively.

Make Confident, Data-Driven Capital Planning a Reality

Strategic capital planning requires accurate, long-term data. Relying on outdated estimates or incomplete records can lead to poor investment decisions that cost millions. DBAssets provides a comprehensive, historical view of asset performance and maintenance costs across your portfolio. This repository of real-world data allows you to accurately forecast future capital expenditures, justify budgets with hard evidence, and build a strategic, 10-year plan that maximizes the value and longevity of your facilities.

FAQ

COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) is a data format that captures key asset information in a structured, spreadsheet-like format. It's crucial because it provides the non-graphical data (like warranties, serial numbers, and maintenance schedules) needed for facility management. DBAssets is built to seamlessly ingest and integrate this data into your BIM.
Yes, our platform is designed for integration. We provide robust APIs that allow for two-way communication with most major Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Building Management Systems (BMS). This ensures that DBAssets can act as the central information hub while complementing your existing operational software.
You do. We firmly believe that your building data belongs to you, the owner. DBAssets is the platform that helps you manage and leverage that data, but you retain full ownership and control of your information at all times. Our business model is built on partnership, not data ownership.
We designed our platform with the end-user in mind—the facility manager, not the BIM expert. With an intuitive interface and guided onboarding process, most teams are able to get up and running with minimal training. Our goal is to make powerful technology feel easy to use.
Your data remains yours. Because DBAssets creates a complete, self-contained digital record of the building, it becomes a valuable asset in itself. The entire digital twin, including all historical data and documentation, can be securely and seamlessly transferred to a new owner or management team, ensuring continuity and preserving the asset's value.
