COBie, or Construction Operations Building Information Exchange, is a standardized format for managing information about a building's assets during and after construction. It serves as a bridge between the design, construction, and operation phases of a building project. By organizing critical data—such as materials, equipment, maintenance schedules, and warranties—into a structured format, COBie helps ensure that facility managers have easy access to the information they need. This streamlined communication improves efficiency, reduces errors, and ultimately supports better building management throughout the lifecycle of the facility.
