Abstract

The present dissertation sought to understand and analyse the current state of the FM sector in Portugal regarding the level of digitization and implementation of BIM-FM methodology, while simultaneously assessing what groups of performance indicators are the most relevant, as well as those that have the potential to be optimized with the progressive digitalization of the sector. In order to achieve this goal, a survey was conducted in partnership with APFM among professionals of the FM sector professionals as a source of information about the Portuguese FM sector, complemented by an extensive analysis of state of the art in order to understand the recent developments in the fields of FM, BIM, and BIM-FM. The survey obtained a total of 108 valid answers, revealing results that allowed to reach the conclusion that the Portuguese FM sector comprises an acceptable level of digitalization, however, there is still a significant portion with a low level of digitalization. BIM-FM implementation is still in a state of development, requiring legislation and investment to achieve its potential. Regarding performance indicators, the method used in this study revealed results with low variance, however, the physical indicators were considered to be the most relevant while the environmental indicators were considered to have the greatest potential to be optimised with the evolution of the sector's digital maturity.
