🚀 COBie & Facility Data Integration: How AEC Digital Solutions Powers Smarter Facilities

In the ever-evolving world of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, data is the new gold. But not just any data—structured, standardized, and accessible information that drives decision-making across the entire building lifecycle. That’s where COBie & Facility Data Integration comes in.

At AEC Digital Solutions, we specialize in bridging the gap between BIM models and Facilities Management (FM) systems through seamless COBie data delivery. Whether you’re a building owner, real estate developer, or FM consultant, we help ensure your project assets are not just built—but maintained smarter.

📌 What is COBie?

COBie (Construction-Operations Building information exchange) is an international standard used to capture and deliver structured asset data during the design and construction phases, ensuring a smooth handover to facilities management.

It includes essential information such as:

• Equipment lists

• Space and zone data

• Warranty information

• Manufacturer details

• Maintenance schedules

Instead of relying on stacks of PDFs and spreadsheets, COBie allows machine-readable, interoperable data ready for any CMMS or FM software.

🏗️ Why COBie & Facility Data Integration Matters

Imagine finishing a construction project, but when the building moves into the operations phase, no one can locate warranty info or scheduled maintenance tasks. That’s the cost of missing structured handover data.

COBie integration ensures:

• Reduced lifecycle costs

• Streamlined facility management

• Fewer reactive maintenance issues

• Regulatory compliance

• Better long-term asset performance
