Building Information Modeling (BIM) has played a significant part in streamlining the modern design, construction and project delivery of a building. BIM, when implemented properly, provides a flow-on benefits to the operation and maintenance phase of the building, enabling the facility manager to perform effective and timely asset management.

BIM, when implemented properly, provides a flow-on benefits to the operation and maintenance phase of the building, enabling the facility manager to perform effective and timely asset management. Augmented Reality (AR) represents a latest addition to the visualization technologies used the construction industry, which has gained its omnipresence alongside the development of high-performance mobile devices. The ability to overlay digital information on to the real world allows users to merge the virtual environment with real world environment. In the construction context, this means the ability to visualize digital models over a real physical environment. By linking BIM with AR, the visualization can be greatly enhanced through the ability to see the digital information of the building overlaid on top of the actual physical building or the actual location of the building. The aim of the research presented in this paper is to examine the applicability of a BIM-integrated AR in the facility management of a building. As a case study, a BIM-integrated AR system is being developed for a selected part of a newly constructed laboratory building on a university campus. This system will be implemented and tested with the facility management team to evaluate its performance and practical usage for a wider implementation.
