Digital modeling of the technical condition of buildings for maintenance and repair purposes
Incoming article date: 12.02.2025This article investigates the application of a digital operational model to enhance the efficiency of maintenance and repair processes for capital construction projects. The study focuses on the operational phase within the building lifecycle, analyzing maintenance procedures and categorizing structural defects. The research identifies limitations in traditional defect reports, which lack quantitative data and spatial referencing to the building structure. These limitations hinder their effectiveness in organizational and technical planning for repair works. The proposed digital model optimizes building condition management, improves the accuracy of technical assessments, and facilitates precise quantification of repair scopes. It also enhances collaboration between facility management and contracting entities. A case study of the educational and laboratory building at the Northern (Arctic) Federal University demonstrates the model's implementation. Key benefits include cost reduction, improved maintenance quality, and streamlined operational workflows. The findings highlight the potential of digital tools to transform building maintenance practices, offering a data-driven approach to facility management in the construction sector.
