1) To understand the operations and maintenance of existing buildings and analyze merits and limitations of existing techniques and methods for constructing as-is BIM models. • Task 1.1: To identify current processes and systems used for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings in Hong Kong • Task 1.2: To analyze merits and limitations of existing techniques and methods for constructing as-built BIM models of buildings in Hong Kong 2) To develop a detailed process and a corresponding computing system equipped with a set of mechanisms for the construction of as-built objects with their meanings and information. • Task 2.1: To develop a detailed process of constructing as-built BIM models of existing buildings • Task 2.2: To develop a set of mechanisms to support creating and assembling as-built building elements with their properties and relationships • Task 2.3: To develop a computational system that implements the mechanisms 3) To evaluate the functional performance of the approach proposed in the research and verify its accuracy • Task 3.1: To select target buildings and collect/generate input data sets • Task 3.2: To verify the functional performance of the process and the computational system using core building components • Task 3.3: To evaluate the holistic performance of the proposed approach focusing on the identification of relationships between building elements
