Which of the following would typically be included in an AECO BIM data handover package at project closeout?

At project completion, the primary BIM deliverable handed over to the owner or facility manager is the record model (or as-built BIM). Record models integrate all design changes, field modifications, and approved submittals accumulated during construction, along with detailed asset data required for Facilities Management (FM) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M). Standard frameworks like ISO 19650 and COBie mandate that record models contain accurate non-geometric attributes—such as equipment serial numbers, warranty details, and maintenance schedules—embedded directly within the BIM elements. Handing over finalized record models with embedded asset data ensures the facility management team can effectively operate, maintain, and manage the physical asset throughout its lifecycle.

A. Internal meeting notes are temporary administrative records used during active coordination and are not required or useful for long-term facility operations.
B. Federated design models used during construction clash detection represent intermediate work-in-progress state models, not the finalized as-built facility conditions required at handover.
C. Temporary 3D saved views created solely for spatial clash analysis during model coordination are transient working views rather than standardized operational closeout deliverables.
