Updating IFC Models During the Operations Stage: From Static Handover to Living Asset Intelligence
For many asset owners and facilities teams, IFC models are still perceived as a handover artifact—a snapshot frozen at Practical Completion, archived, and rarely revisited. This mindset significantly underutilises the value of IFC during the Operations stage, where accurate, trusted information delivers the greatest return on investment. As facilities become more data-driven and IWMS platforms mature, IFC models are increasingly repositioned as controlled reference models tha
