Abstract
The using of traditional two-dimensional (2D) drawing
construction industry creates communication gaps among
owners, architects, and contractors. These gaps exist in all phases
of project, but are more evident in operation and maintenance
management (O&MM). Universities administration is currently
starting to explore and implement new methods to receive more
valuable as-built information.
A BIM-MM is an emerging information maintenance
technology that manages and promotes a collaborative process
for the architectural engineering and construction. It can
facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information
management, and therefore could provide enhanced benefits to
Universities’ Buildings.
The aim of this thesis is to generated and design a SWOT
analysis tool (Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses, Threats)
that would preliminary evaluate feasibility for the application of
enhanced BIM-MM approach in UBE in Egypt.
The research work consists of two main tools;
questionnaire and interview. This questionnaire is structured to
evaluate respondents experience to assess the actual practices

adopted in MM and the expected benefits from BIM
implementation on University buildings. This questionnaire has
been sent to more than 200 persons in different educational
background (graduate, master degree and Ph.D.) in public and
private Universities in Egypt. The objective of the tool is to
leverage the existing data in BIM-MM to enhance the quality of
University building environment.
The interviews have designed to determine the level of
applying MM using BIM at Universities buildings environment.
The interviews were applied with MM managers of three public
Universities (Ain Shams University, Cairo University and Al-Azhar
University) and three privet Universities (American University in
Cairo, British University in Egypt and Arab Academy for Science,
Technology & Maritime Transport). The interviews have involved
the MM managers at the studied Universities to discuss the value
of these parameters and attributes for enhancing University
buildings environment at Egypt. This interview is structured to
evaluate Universities experience (MM department manager) to
assess the actual practices adopted in MM and the expected
benefits from BIM implementation on Universities buildings
