Abstract

The concept of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is heavily promoted but rarely used in the Facility Management (FM) industry. Especially for event locations, where FM and Event Management organizations have to collaborate within a short period in a highly flexible manner with various external partners and public authorities. Hence, applying the method of BIM for Event Management is even more difficult compared to regular building operations. As a first attempt to dissolve this issue, the presented article emphasizes on the adoption of agile project management framework for BIM-based Event Management, where the focus lays on the creation of a suitable Building Information Model (BIM Model), at one hand for general FM, on the other hand for event management purposes. The paper shows results of a collaborative research project BIM4Events founded by KiraDIGI between the HTW Berlin, Berlin Airport of Tempelhof and Metropolia UAS Helsinki, as a Scrum-based BIM Model development at the case of a public event, ‘Sommerfest – Tag der offenen Tür’, organized in September 2018.
