The Facilities Management Implementation Committee has introduced the Guide to Smart Facilities Management, these five-step processes are the Set of Objectives and Outcomes, Mapping Out Solutions framework, Adopting a Suitable Implementation Model, Reviewing, and Tracking Outcomes for Continuous Improvement. In addition, applying advanced technologies integrating Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to provide for an integral transfer of BIM data to the GIS platform. The work led to integration between the two informative systems, by relating them and allowing for an easy switch from one system database to the other. This integrated framework is intended to enable facility managers to easy visualize in the GIS platform, through queryable 2D maps with 3D modeling relevant to information from BIM to efficiently manage. The research included mixed-method that combines theoretical review and field studies, in addition to interviews with employees of the General Authority for the Preservation of Cities and Historic Monuments in the Old City of Sana'a, Which contributes to understanding the status of the current management system of the city.
