Despite existing building fire safety designs, the increasing frequency of fire incidents highlights the need for improvements in fire safety management. This paper presents a conceptual framework for Building Information Modelling (BIM)-based fire safety management, integrating Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) for a three-storey building. The primary objectives are to develop a building BIM model with fire safety compliance checks, conduct a fire simulation using FDS to integrate the results into the BIM model, and test the feasibility of the framework. The framework’s main components are modelling, analysis, data integration, and user education. The BIM model developed using Revit was assessed for fire safety compliance using Dynamo. FDS simulations were concurrently carried out for fire risk assessment in critical scenarios, followed by evacuation route planning. Fire safety results were then integrated into the BIM model. The framework illustrates an effective BIM-based fire safety management platform that incorporates FDS simulation, with fire safety information accessible to building occupants.
