COBie in BIM is a data format used to manage which of the following in BIM workflows?

COBie is a structured data format used in BIM to capture and exchange information about the building itself so it can be operated and maintained after handover. The emphasis is on building information data—details about spaces, systems, equipment, components, and related attributes, plus warranties and maintenance info that facilities managers need to know. This makes handover to operations smooth and ensures that the asset’s data lives with the model for lifecycle use. This isn’t primarily about project scheduling, financing, or the scheduling of maintenance activities. Those domains sit outside COBie’s main purpose, which is to provide a consistent, machine-readable dataset that describes the building and its assets for ongoing management.
