Abstract

The advancement in architectural, engineering, and construction industries leads to optimization of resources, where facilities management (FM) is a great concern. During the entire lifecycle of a building, the operation and maintenance (O&M) phase is the longest and revenue-generating phase. FM tools are used for O&M phase which reduces the operational cost and ensures organizational goal. Among innumerable FM tools, major ones are CAFM, CMMS, EAM, and IWMS. This paper presents a thorough literature research on major categories of ICT (information and communication technology)-based solutions available in the market which suit the changing trends of FM for the current decade.
