Enhancing Facilities Management: Practical COBie✨🏢
Facilities Management (FM) teams often inherit a mess at project handover missing data, inconsistent documents, and lots of manual data entry. But what if we could standardise and streamline that entire process?
COBie (Construction-Operations Building information exchange) is a game changing format that allows project data to be delivered in a structured, spreadsheet based form, ready for use in CAFM systems.
In our ‘What is COBie’ training, we break down exactly how COBie transforms FM workflows, with real world examples and tips to avoid common pitfalls.
What You’ll Learn:
📋 What COBie is and how it fits into BIM workflows
🧑💼 Who does what: designers, contractors, and FM teams
⚙️ The difference between automated vs manual COBie workflows
🗂️ Which COBie tabs are actually essential
🎨 How colour-coding helps assign responsibilities
🚧 What challenges to expect—and how to avoid them
Key Takeaways:
✅ COBie = consistent, reliable, and structured data
⏱️ Saves time and money at handover
🇬🇧 Mandated in UK public sector projects
🔄 Makes it easy to integrate with CAFM platforms
🧰 Compatible with Revit and other BIM tools using plug-ins
Who’s This For?
If you're an Asset or Estate Owner, Project Manager, Contractor, Architect, Engineer, Landlord, or Facilities Management Professional, this training is a must! Whether you're delivering, managing, or inheriting building data, understanding COBie can save you time, stress, and money.
