FM Building Manager - (Muigg Spaces BIG)

The FM Building Manager is an extension of the “Spaces Module”, carried out for the “Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft” BIG (Austrian Federal Real Estate Company).

The enhancements include the following functions: Calculation of floor space, ÖNORM and according to tenancy law, automatic room allocation, connection to databases for FM and creation of colored evaluations from SQL queries.

A description of the general functions of the area module can be found under Spaces Module. The enhancements include the following functions:

  • Calculation of three different area values

    The floor area, the room area according to ÖNORM B 1800, and the area according to the Tenancy Law are determined. To make this possible, three different types of deduction areas are managed. The deduction areas are automatically assigned to the rooms, even if the corresponding layers are not visible.

    All changes to the deduction areas—and, of course, changes to island areas and room boundaries—result in an immediate update of the area values.

  • Rooms are automatically assigned to a wing

The building sections or wings are also displayed using polylines on a special layer. Once a room has been created, it is automatically assigned to the wing in which the room is located.

  • Entering factual data for a room via a separate dialog box

All factual data for a room is displayed in a clear dialog box and checked for plausibility.

  • Database connection

The data for all drawings belonging to a project is exported to a corresponding project database. This database contains all information about the rooms, wings, and floors, as well as information about the individual drawings belonging to a project.

The exchange of information is bidirectional, i.e., values can be changed in the database or in the drawing. The project database is connected via ODBC; Microsoft SQL Server is currently used.

  • Display of the object structure independently of the CAD application using a database utility

The rooms of a project are displayed in a tree structure according to their assignment to wings and floors, including all factual data.

  • Creation of graphical evaluations from the database information

All information about rooms—even those collected independently of CAD—can be used to create so-called “thematic maps” (e.g., color-coded representations according to use, flooring, or even tenants).

A “legend” describing the meaning of the different colors is generated automatically.

  • Automatic post-processing of drawings This function allows drawings that have been automatically captured with a laser scanning device to be processed in a single step. All data that is already known during the on-site recording is captured during the recording and transferred.

This function is also suitable for existing CAD floor plans in which rooms are defined by a polyline and room stamps by a block with attributes—as is common in most CAD programs. Existing CAD drawings can thus be post-processed very easily and quickly.

It is even easier to process drawings created with ACADMAP or with the “standard version” of the area module.

The MUIGG FM Building Manager runs on AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD.
