SERVICE OVERVIEW

What Is COBie Modeling?

COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) is a structured data format that captures information about a building's spaces, equipment, systems, and components in a format compatible with facility management software. It was developed to help transfer asset information from design and construction teams to facility operations.

COBie modeling is the process of integrating asset data into your BIM model throughout the project lifecycle, then extracting, validating, and delivering that information as COBie-compliant spreadsheets, IFC files, or CAFM and CMMS-ready data at key project milestones.

Why Does COBie Data Get Lost So Often?

• Equipment attributes are added to the BIM model late, inconsistently, or remain incomplete.

• Manufacturer, warranty, and spare parts information stays in submittals instead of being linked to the BIM model.

• Component naming and asset data can become inconsistent across architectural, structural, MEP, and vendor teams.

• COBie data is often validated only during project handover, making corrections more time-consuming.

• Facility teams may receive COBie data that requires additional review before it can be imported into CAFM or CMMS platforms.

Monarch Innovation manages COBie data throughout the project lifecycle, helping deliver structured, validated asset information that supports facility management at handover.

BUSINESS BENEFITS

What Are the Business Benefits of Structured COBie Modeling?

Benefit

Impact

Faster Facility Handover

Structured COBie data helps facility teams prepare asset information for CMMS implementation, reducing manual data collection after project handover.

Lower Lifecycle Cost

Asset information linked to warranty, maintenance, and spare parts data supports more efficient facility management throughout the asset lifecycle.

Fewer Handover Issues

Validated COBie data at key project milestones helps improve data quality and supports a smoother project handover process.

Better Space and Asset Visibility

Structured space, system, and component data supports space planning, asset management, compliance reporting, and facility operations.

Support Regulatory Compliance

A structured COBie dataset helps support fire safety, regulatory, and asset management documentation requirements.

Support Future Renovations and Expansions

A well-maintained digital asset record provides a reliable foundation for future renovation, retrofit, and facility expansion projects.

OUR ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

How Our COBie Modeling Process Works

Here is how a typical COBie modeling engagement works with Monarch Innovation:

01

Share Your EIR and BIM Model

Send us your Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), BIM Execution Plan (BEP), current BIM model, and asset register template. We review your requirements and define the project scope.

02

Build the COBie Responsibility Matrix

We map every required COBie attribute to the responsible project team and establish the data delivery schedule.

03

Enrich the Model

We populate the BIM model with COBie parameters, classifications, and asset information throughout the design and construction process.

04

Extract and Validate COBie Data

At each project milestone, we extract COBie worksheets, perform automated and manual validation, and prepare compliance reports.

05

Test the CAFM or CMMS Import

We prepare COBie datasets for your CAFM or CMMS platform and review data mapping before project handover.

06

Deliver the COBie Package

You receive the validated COBie dataset, compliance documentation, and BIM deliverables, with project support available during facility handover where required.

FAQ SECTION

Frequently Asked Questions

What is COBie modeling?

COBie modeling is the process of integrating structured asset data into a BIM model throughout the project lifecycle, then extracting and delivering that data as COBie-compliant spreadsheets, IFC files, or CAFM/CMMS-ready datasets.

When should COBie data be developed during a project?

COBie data is best developed continuously from design through construction, with validation at key project milestones, rather than compiled as a single spreadsheet at project handover.

Can you work with our existing BIM models and EIR?

Yes. We review your Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) and BIM Execution Plan (BEP), then enrich your existing Autodesk Revit, Graphisoft ArchiCAD, or IFC models with the COBie parameters required for your project.

Which COBie worksheets do you deliver?

We extract and structure the full set of COBie worksheets, including Facility, Floor, Space, Zone, Type, Component, System, and Attribute, along with any additional datasets required by your EIR.

Can you prepare COBie data for our CAFM or CMMS platform?

Yes. We prepare COBie deliverables for integration with leading facility management platforms, including IBM Maximo, Archibus, Planon, and FM:Systems, and review data mapping before handover.

Is COBie the same as a BIM model?

No. A BIM model is the 3D representation of a building, while COBie is the structured, non-graphical data extracted from that model, typically delivered as a spreadsheet or IFC file for use in facility management software.

Can you deliver COBie data for an existing building without a BIM model?

Yes. We combine laser scan data or field survey with as-built modeling to build a complete COBie dataset for buildings that were never modeled.

How much does COBie modeling cost?

Cost depends on building size, number of assets, and how many data drops your EIR requires. We provide a fixed-price estimate within one business day of reviewing your project data.
