Certification Course in BIM Management for Facilities & Operations

Stanza BIM Academy’s Certification Course in BIM Management for Facilities & Operations is designed for professionals involved in building maintenance, asset management, and operational efficiency. This program equips learners with the technical and strategic skills to leverage Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a powerful tool for managing facilities throughout their lifecycle—from handover to day-to-day operations and long-term planning.

Guided by industry experts with extensive experience in BIM implementation for FM and O&M, learners will explore data integration, space management, asset tracking, predictive maintenance, and sustainability strategies using BIM. The course ensures participants can transform traditional facilities management into a smart, data-driven operation.

Whether you are a facility manager, asset manager, building engineer, or BIM professional expanding into post-construction operations, this certification provides the tools to optimize performance, reduce costs, and extend asset lifespans through intelligent BIM practices.

Course Overview

This course is structured into 5 sequential course codes designed to equip facilities management professionals with the skills to leverage BIM for efficient building operations. Beginning with the fundamentals of BIM in FM and advancing to asset data management, predictive maintenance, and sustainability integration, the program blends technical modelling with strategic facilities management practices. Learners will develop competencies to manage asset information, optimize space utilization, plan maintenance activities, and implement digital twin technologies for long-term operational excellence.
