COBie is a standard for delivering building asset data to owners — often paired with scan-to-BIM for facility management.

Data, not just geometry
COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) structures equipment and asset data so owners can run their buildings. It complements a BIM model for facility management.

Where scanning fits
Scan-to-BIM captures accurate geometry; COBie carries the asset data attached to it.
