###### Abstract
In recent years, the BIM spread continues to increase intensively as many government bodies and non-profit organisations of different countries worldwide introduced BIM in their projects and provided BIM implementation's paths. However, nowadays, research and studies about the public sector's actions and efforts for BIM adoption do not look sufficient [7]. Even large public owners who have been early adopters of BIM, such as GSA or Senate Properties, have mainly used BIM to manage their construction projects rather than implement it into their operations and maintenance activities [14]. However, in some countries, the adoption of BIM in the FM stage is required, leading to a significant increase in the industry's interest in BIM-based FM in response to such policies [15]. Therefore, BIM has become an over-researched area when looking at design and construction matters; facility management topics are increasing, but not many articles have looked at BIM-FM, especially from a public perspective. Previous studies in this area have focused mainly on applying building information modelling in the FM field in general [16, 17, 18], approaching the subject from a practical point of view [19, 20, 21] and without an in-depth analysis of the public involvement. On the other hand, several researchers investigated BIM-FM adoption, considering both the public and private sectors and discussing the overall implementation status [18, 22]. Moreover, to a significant extent, scientific contributions provide sector-based works on BIM-FM implementation, dealing with investigations falling into specific contexts or specific topic areas. For example, [PERSON] et al. [23] consider the level of BIM-FM in the public industry in Nigeria, [PERSON] and [PERSON] [24] review the integration status in Taiwan, [PERSON] et al. [25] analyse industry awareness in Brunei and [PERSON] et al. [26] consider the Malaysian framework; on the other hand, other studies develop reviews on specific aspects of BIM for FM within the public sector. For instance, [PERSON] et al. [27] provide a review on MEP issues, [PERSON] et al. [26] present a study on the level of BIM-FM adoption for controlling energy performance; [PERSON] et al. [28] represent the state-of-the-art of methods and tools (included BIM) for post-occupancy evaluations. Moreover, several publications review specific building categories without cross analysing results across different building types. Examples of this type of research include [PERSON] et al. [20], whose study focused on hospitals, or [PERSON] et al. [26], [PERSON] et al. [29] and [PERSON] et al. [30], who concentrate on educational buildings. Overall, much of BIM-FM research focuses on school or hospital buildings or specific themes within the area of BIM-FM, such as IoT and virtual reality. So far, no review has covered various topics simultaneously aiming to analyse the progress of BIM-FM in public organisations. Therefore, discussions concerning the broad implementation of BIM are scarce. Thus, investigating the current situation regarding BIM-FM implementation in the public domain is necessary to assess the state-of-the-art and identify research trends and future developments. In light of these issues, this research aims to report on the status of BIM for FM in the public domain through a systematic review based on research articles published between 2010 and 2021. 2010 was considered to be a plausible landmark for starting the investigation because, prior to that, very little was discussed about standards for BIM implementation in general, and even less for facilities management. In addition, some of the currently available technology to enable collaboration (such as Clouds for CDEs) was very embryonic. It was also considered that international leveraged discussions about BIM implementation started back in 2009 with the establishment of the UK Mandate. The message within the mandate echoed the developments in research and practice taking place in Finland, the USA and the UK (initially).
