Building Information Modelling (BIM) is regarded as a technological breakthrough that facilitates the modernization of construction industry, increasing the productivity and value across stakeholder groups. However, despite of BIM’s potential benefits towards the industry players, it seems that BIM is still not broadly implemented yet in the Vietnam construction industry, especially for facility management (FM) during the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase of buildings. This paper, therefore, investigate the status quo of BIM implementation for FM in O&M phase of buildings in Vietnam, exploring the benefits and also the challenges that construction practitioners in Vietnam need to overcome to fully exploit BIM potentials in O&M phase. The research results, on the basis of interviews with experts in Vietnam construction industry, show that BIM for O&M phase is still in its infancy in Vietnam and the most indicated challenges are: the cultural approach to adopt BIM in the FM industry; lacking or inadequate, misunderstanding information handover requirements.
