: Technological evolution and BIM have changed the design development process in the construction
industry. The operation and maintenance (O&M) phase requires building information throughout its service life,
which was previously paper based, making it difficult to carry out maintenance activities. BIM assists in the
management, storage, and digital sharing of information generated. However, only part of the information
generated is required for the maintenance phase of the building. Although a subset of the IFC schema already
exists to describe the data exchange between the BIM model and maintenance software, the data are generic and
not well defined according to each the element source of maintenance (ESM). Therefore, through a literature
review of existing studies on the use of BIM to support O&M processes, this paper aims to design an information
flow to integrate maintenance information into the BIM model. The information is based on six main maintenance
acts (inspection, cleaning, proactive measure, correction, replacement, and terms of use) and organized in an
external sheet. The building will be divided into ESM according to its function in the building to facilitate the
maintenance information flow between sheets and the BIM model.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
