Construction & Facilities Management

By leveraging globally unique identification and data exchange standards, GS1 can bring visibility, traceability and certainty to building and asset information for the architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) and facilities management industries.

GS1 identifiers create a globally unique identity for products, assets, people, locations, and service relationships. Right from the early stages of a building’s design, architects and engineers can identify the products and parts that meet their specifications, including their environmental and operational cost attributes, and track their delivery on site.

During installation and commissioning on-going verifications can occur, validating that the materials and assets installed meet the requirements specified in the Risk Assessment Method Statements and in the Health and Safety file. Maintenance and facilities management teams also benefit greatly from the implementation of GS1 standards with digital links created between personnel, their qualifications, job tickets and schedules.
