7.1 Planning Level

The planning level is defined with four name placeholders:

1. Field 1: Region Numbering

2. Field 2: Sub-Region Numbering

3. Field 3: Sub-Sub-Region Numbering

4. Field 4: Plot Numbering.

7.1.1 Region Numbering

Regions should be named according to the geographical location of the development. The
Asset number will be the three alphabet spaces assigned in sequential order of the
development. For the Schedule of Region numbering, see Appendix A.

7.1.2 Sub-Region Numbering

The Sub-Region, depending on the design of the Region, can be one of the following:
• District

• Cluster

• Zone

• similar geographical space.

The Sub-Region can be “technically” named according to its geographical location from the
central area of the city (e.g., N03 for Northern District number 03, E06 for Eastern District
number 06)

A Sub-Region can also have a name related to landmark locations (e.g., Silver Beach
because it is along the shoreline, Hill Side because it is on an elevated location).

A Sub-Region can also have a name of a prominent personality, in recognition of their

significant contribution to the city. The same can apply to major boulevards, main streets,
collectors, etc. However, these names are not part of the technical naming system.

Depending on the design of the Region, the Sub-Region can be defined by more than one
subdivision of the Sub-Region; for example, Cluster and District in the Mountain Region.
The number of alphanumerical places will remain the same, as shown in Table 2.

Table 2: Sequence numbering for Sub-Region Field when subdivisions of the region, like Clusters, are
defined

7.1.3 Sub-Sub Region Numbering
A Sub-Sub Region can be a Block or any other geographical area defined in the Master
Planning that doesn’t exceed 400 meters in any direction, to stay within the “walking
distance” limits. The Sub-Sub-Region is surrounded by streets or walkways.

The Sub-Sub Region should have a three-digit number (e.g., 085, 345, etc.)

An example of Sub-Sub Region numbering is shown in Figure 1. In this case, the Sub-Sub-
Region is a Block.

Figure 1: Sub-Sub Region / Blocks numbering

7.1.4 Plots Numbering

Plots should have a three-digit number (e.g., 05 or 23). Plot numbers should not exceed a
reasonable size due to the limited block area (maximum 400 m × 400 m).

If an Unconventional Urban Plan is developed without Plots, this field should be named
according to the first smaller entity following the Sub-Sub-Region.

An example of plot numbering is provided in Figure 2.

7.2 Design Level

The Design Level follows the Planning Level naming and is defined with two name
placeholders:
• Field 5: Asset Number

• Field 6: Space Number.

7.2.1 Asset/Building Numbering

Field 5 of the Asset Naming Sequence Numbering is related to the Design Stage and refers
to the Asset as a physical building or infrastructure, such as:
• residential

• business facilities

• commercial & retail facilities

• media center

• recreation, entertainment & sports facilities

• marinas

• hospital

• medical clinics

• religious facilities

• school

• library

• fire stations

• roads/streets/bridges

• infrastructure system

• utility networks.

For the components of buildings, see Section 7.3.

An example of asset/building numbering is provided in Figure 3.

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 1 3 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 Figure 3: Buildings Numbering

The asset numbering must be finalized during Stage 3A of the Design Level by the
Responsible Entity (usually Projects) with agreement from the Asset Proponent before
sending for stage review.

The proposed building number must be based on three-digit numbers.

7.2.1.1 Building Numbering Special Cases

1. Complex Building Numbering

When the building is complex and consists of several Units (e.g., Wing, Building
Block, Building Tower), the first character (prefix) of the building number should define
a specific Unit, preferably alphabetical.

For example, a Complex building with four towers on plot number 008 would be
008-A01, 008-B01, 08-C01, or 008-D01.

2. Service Building Numbering

Installations and services within the plot, but not within a specific building, will be
identified by the alpha suffix character in Table 4, where the alpha character will
follow the digits.

For example, a pump room supplying water to an outdoor fountain will have the
number 008-01M, where 008 is the plot number and 01M is the number of the pump
room.

The landscaped common area within a plot will have the number 008-02L, where 008
is the plot number and 02L is the number of the landscaped area.

The water feature itself will have the number 008-01L, where 008 is the plot number
and 01L is the number of the feature.

3. Temporary Asset Name

The Temporary name for a permanent or temporary asset will differ from regular
naming in Field 5 and Field 6.

Field 5 will have the alphabetical name TMP (as per Table 3), followed by the number
of assets in the first part of Field 6.

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 1 4 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 For example, the temporary name of the asset 002 in the Northern Gateway, the Sub-
Region/Cluster, and Zone 1 and Plot 1 of the Gulf of Aqaba will be defined as NGQ-
N01-000-001-TMP-002-000.

Temporary names should be avoided for the permanent assets. The responsibility for
Temporary Asset Names will remain the same as defined in Section 5. Once the
Master Plan is defined, the Temporary number should be replaced with a permanent
one.

7.2.2 Space Numbering

Field 6 of the Asset Naming Sequence Numbering is related to the Design Stage and refers
to space within a facility. A unique associated number is required. It includes both assigned
spaces such as offices, bedrooms, and hotel rooms, and unassigned spaces such as
corridors, stairs, mechanical rooms, electrical closets, restrooms, and janitor rooms/closets.
The numbering of any space should be done in a way to ensure that duplicate space
numbers are not assigned and that consistent application of this standard occurs.

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 1 5 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

7.2.2.1 Floor level
The Floor level of the building indicates the first part of a space number.

The level with a “G” as the first character should be the main entrance level of the building.
Levels below must use the character “B” (basement).

Buildings located on steeply sloping sites may need to vary from this rule; where necessary,
the floor numbered “G” may not be the main entrance level of the building. Where “B” and
“G” are used in the same building, the “B” level will be below the “G” level. The floor
indicator should hold three characters.

Large mezzanines (greater than one-third of the area of the attached floor) must be
numbered as a whole floor. For example, when a mezzanine exists between the first floor
and the next whole floor, it will be numbered as the second floor.

Usable attic floors and penthouse levels should be numbered as if they are whole floors. For
example, a two-story penthouse atop a three-floor building will be numbered as the fourth
and fifth floors. Do not use prefixes such as “R” for the roof level.

7.2.2.2 Room number

The Room number indicates the second part of the Space number, and it should flow from
one end of the building to the other, starting with the lowest number near the main entry
(vertical circulation) to the floor. In a building with only one dividing corridor, room numbers
should flow in ascending order from the main entry end of the building to the other.

Rooms along a corridor should be numbered odd on one side and even on the other.
Normally, odd numbers would be on the right and even on the left. Numbers on one side of
the corridor must correspond with room numbers on the opposite side (e.g., room 2 on the
1st floor of the building will be 001-002 across the corridor from 001-001 or 001-003). In the
eventuality of the future subdivision of any given room, an alphabetical capital letter must be
added to the initial room number in alphabetical order. In more complex designs, or where
the availability of numbers is limited, the odd−even format can be abandoned if consecutive
numbering results in a more logical scheme. The NEOM entity with responsibility for room
numbering must approve any alternative numbering scheme before being used. The
numbering sequence must be designed to be easily extended as required.

A possible room numbering system for the rooms on the 1st floor is provided in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Room Numbering System 1

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 1 6 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 In a building with two distinct corridors with rooms on each side, the odd−even in ascending
order is still in effect. However, all rooms reached from both sides of the corridor on the right
will have odd numbers. The rooms accessed from the left corridor would all be numbered in
the even ascending order.

A possible room numbering system of the rooms on the 1st floor of the building with two
distinct corridors on each side is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Room Numbering System 2

Room numbers in the space inventory database and on the COBie facility inventory plans
should match those on the room signage in the buildings whenever possible.

Room numbers should only consist of numbers, i.e., 001-001, with the first three-digit
always referring to the floor; there should be no commas, spaces, etc. Furthermore, room
numbers should not be 0 or a single alpha character.

Buildings that are significantly connected must be numbered as though each building were a
separate wing with its room numbering scheme. For further information, see Section 7.2.1.1.

When rooms are accessed from a primary room and not directly from a corridor (a “suite” of
rooms), use the primary room number followed by a letter suffix.

A primary room is accessed directly from a corridor, exterior, or general circulation path and
is not numbered with any letter suffix. Therefore, a room opening from room 101 would be
101A.

When it’s necessary to enter a room from another room whose number already has one
suffix, a second suffix should be added to identify this interior room, such as 101A1. The first
suffix must be a letter. The second suffix must be a number and so on if necessary. This
scheme applies to both assigned and non-assigned type spaces. Interior spaces are
numbered counterclockwise about the base space, with suffix “A” being the closest to the
principal entry. Large units with many rooms can use non-suffixed numbers if it makes the
numbering scheme more understandable and sufficient numbers are available for each
floor, i.e., 101−199. Corridors within suites are usually treated as a room (Private
Circulation) in the suite and will be numbered like the suite.

Room numbers are part of a numbering sequence based on the floor number and should
start at the same place on each floor whenever possible. Use the same numbering
sequencing for repeated, vertically stacked rooms on every floor. For example, if there is a
repeating mechanical room on the first floor (room 001-M01) and janitor’s closet (room 001-
0J1), then on the second floor, these same rooms would be labeled as rooms 002-M01 and
002-J01 respectively.

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 1 7 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 Although non-assigned spaces are numbered in sequence with the numbers on a floor, a
building service suffix is added after the floor number. Spaces where numbers are not
normally displayed, such as lobbies, corridors, stairs, etc., must still have associated
numbers. These numbers will typically only be seen on the BIM floorplans and the space
inventory database. Alpha suffix characters for numbering facility service space are provided
in Table 4.

Due to the unique nature of certain spaces, such as elevators, stairs, and shafts, that extend
through several floors, the unique numbers on each floor should be assigned. For example,
an elevator shaft on the first floor will have a different room number than the same shaft on
the second floor (i.e., 001-0E1 on the first floor and 002-0E1 on the second floor).

Non-assigned spaces do not necessarily follow the odd−even numbering that assigned
rooms have. They are numbered in general ascending order starting from the main entrance
end and ending at the opposite end of the building. For example, 001-0J1 could be at the
front entrance, while the only other Janitor closet, 001-0J2, is located at the opposite end of
the building.

Unenclosed spaces such as alcoves and oversized lobbies sometimes have assigned
spaces, such as reception areas and open waiting areas. The Responsible Entity (usually
Projects) should review and approve the boundaries of these spaces and numbers
accordingly.

The final room numbering must be completed and approved by the Responsible Entity
(usually Projects) during the Design and Tendering Stage. Any changes in the final
numbering in the construction documents, as may be generated by a change order during
construction, must be approved by the Responsible Entity. The numbering system will be
used for the permanent building signage.

An example of room numbering on different floors is provided in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Room numbering on different floors

Outdoor spaces (terrace, balcony, veranda) of a unit will be numbered by the letters “Tr” (for
the terrace) immediately following the unit number. For example, a terrace accessible from
unit 402 will be numbered 402Tr1. The uncovered area of this terrace will be numbered
4Tr1A. A balcony accessible from the unit or any room of unit 402 will be numbered 402Tr2.

7.2.3 Interstitial Technical Floors, Parking Garages, and Houses
Interstitial Technical floors are to be numbered for location purposes only. The interstitial
spaces have a prefix “I-” followed by the floor number directly below the interstitial level.
Because interstitial spaces are usually mechanical types, a “U” designation should also be
assigned.

Standalone Parking Garages are considered buildings and will have a building number, floor
numbers, and room numbers, to include all usable space with the structure. This includes
any uncovered top level.

If the residential houses or former houses have been converted to official residences, there
are no separate room numbers for each room. In that case, the entire facility, either one-
story or multistory, is given one room number only: 101. The assigned gross square meter
for this room number is a compilation of all floors and rooms, not including the structural
space.

7.2.4 Physically Numbered Spaces

All major interior spaces, including lockable spaces, should be given permanent identifying
numbers, including restrooms, closets, mechanical rooms, etc.

Room number signage should be applied to the adjacent wall such that the number is not
concealed when the door is open. The signage is identified with the room or area the access
is to.

All room number signage should comply with the ADA Standards for size, height from floor,

 The contractor will apply the assets naming system received from the designer and develop
the details or additional system components on the shop drawings within the set guidelines,
to implement during the Construction, Handover & Close-out Stage. The contractor will
update the numbering system regularly until the end of the Construction, Handover & Close-
out Stage.

In addition, the contractor will issue a final version of the naming system while preparing the
as-built drawings and during the submission of those drawings for approval by Projects and
the Asset Proponent, in accordance with Section 5.

During the handing over, the operator will receive the updated naming system to use during
the Operation and Maintenance Stage.

The level of maintenance should be defined by the Asset Proponent, Operations

Department, or the identified Operator, as applicable.

8 Asset Register

An asset register is a schedule of components that forms part of a built asset, such as a
building. It must be submitted as part of the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manual or
deliverables at the Construction, Handover & Close-Out Stage. It contains the information
required for the operation, maintenance, recommissioning, and decommissioning/demolition
of the building.

Having an asset register at the Testing & Commissioning, Handover, and Close-Out Stage
leads to proper asset management as it facilitates tracking of assets during the O&M stage.
It will also help to modernize the asset register, consolidate assets, and incorporate assets
added or replaced later by the owner into the asset registry.

Asset registries also make controlling asset management and inventory significantly easier
and more efficient. Keeping records updated to reflect ongoing changes in asset status is
vital and will make maintenance of those assets easier and more manageable over time.

The asset register must include the asset tagging/coding and all fixed asset details to track
their value and physical location (from district to room and space level). These requirements
must be incorporated into the relevant project specifications as part of the Design and
Tendering Stage deliverables. The asset tagging will be used to link inventory during the
handover of relevant assets.

The asset register may include every component in a building, but the most important is to
be prepared for the “active” assets that require regular inspection, maintenance, cleaning, or
replacement, such as building services components.

To ensure the greatest benefit from the asset registry, it must be continually updated by the
NEOM O&M team, which will improve overall maintenance efficiency, help set priorities for
capital renewal and planning, and provide insights into organizational performance. An up-

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 3 3 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 to-date, accurate asset register is a key enabler to an effective asset management strategy
required by international facilities management standards.

The asset register must:

• be prepared digitally

• be searchable

• include links to supporting documentation.

Appropriate software must be used to help prepare and manage asset registration. It is the
contractor’s responsibility to carry out an asset survey to compile an initial register. Once
compiled, it is essential that the asset register is kept up to date. Responsibility for
maintaining the asset register may be given to an asset manager or facility manager.

The asset register must include:

• location (as per the room numbering defined in the chapter 7.2.2.2)

• identification number (as per the systems and sub-system/components naming)

• List of areas and premises; for example, gross floor area, landscape area, car parking
areas (number and size), exposed window/glass area, pools, sport and play areas

• Detailed mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) asset list that includes a wide range
of information

• General Asset/Facilities list; for example, fountains, water features, swimming pool, IT
room, control room, reception, storeroom, children play areas, sports pitches, courts,
coffee shops, spa

• Landscaping details, including soft landscape and irrigation system; for example,
trees and palm trees, shrubs, climbers, water plants, ground cover, grass, irrigation
network including pipework, valves, inspection chambers, etc.

• Landscape details, including hard landscape, furniture, and equipment; for example,
paths, tracks and pavements, sport and play surfaces, street furniture and lighting,
shade structures, gates, walls, fences

• Gymnasium and swimming pool asset list

• Fancy items details, artwork, sculpture, and furniture

• Any other special equipment; for example, security systems, waste management
systems.

An asset register may contain, as a guide:

• a description of the Asset

• size

• number of people that can occupy the space

• access information

• supplier

• installer

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 3 4 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 • purchase price

• date of acquisition

• purchase order number

• date of delivery

• ownership records

• initial cost

• current value

• condition and defects

• maintenance requirements and intervals

• information about spares

• photographs

• drawing references

• running cost

• energy performance

• certification

• health and safety information

• service level agreements

• warranties

• disposal date

• method of disposal

• sale price.

The following forms should be used to collect and manage information within the BIM model.
This information is then published out of the model into an Excel file format/spreadsheet in
line with the COBie (Construction Operations Building information exchange) standard
provided in the BIM and GIS Procedure (NEOM-NEN-PRC-009):

• CMMS Location Form (NEOM-NEN-PRC-020_FRM01) – contains information about

the Asset required to be provided by Asset Proponent, as input to the BIM model.

• CMMS Assets Form (NEOM-NEN-PRC-020_FRM02) – contains information about

the Asset required to be defined in the BIM model and exchanged in the Handover
Stage as part of the COBie Spreadsheet.

• CMMS Spare Parts and Consumables Form (NEOM-NEN-PRC-020_FRM03) –

contains information that should be available as part of Digital Twin and exchanged in
the Handover Stage.

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 3 5 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 In addition, the asset register allows integration with maintenance scheduling software,
computer-aided facilities management (CAFM) or computer maintenance management
system (CMMS) software. The data related to assets by the designers and the contractors
as the building is constructed can be added, preferably in accordance with COBie
requirements and standard templates. Two types of assets are included in COBie:
equipment and spaces.

COBie addresses the handover of information between the Construction, Handover &
Close-out Stage and Operation & Maintenance Stage of the facility life cycle. The goal of is
to capture complete electronic construction products, equipment, system, and warranty
information as the project progresses and automatically transfer this information to the
facility’s work order management systems (CMMS/CAFM).

For more information regarding the handover phase, see:

• Handing Over Procedure (NEOM-NEN-PRC-022)

• BIM and GIS Procedure (NEOM-NEN-PRC-009):

− Appendix I: Asset Information Delivery Procedure

− Appendix R: COBie Spreadsheet.

8.1 Asset Identification

Asset tagging is essential to track the maintenance performed on the assets. For a large
number of assets to be overseen, using a computerized maintenance management system
(CMMS) to handle assets is recommended. The CMMS will be the database for all asset
information from district to component level and the related information.

This section describes the minimum requirements for identifying and labeling assets
operated and maintained in the NEOM Computerized Asset Management System. This
system allows NEOM to record information about its assets for lifecycle budgeting and
maintenance programs.

8.1.1 Tagging – Labelling/Nameplate

Using tags that a machine can read is preferable. Barcodes are a simple and time-proven
method of machine-readable tagging.

The handover procedures and project specifications must include the following requirements
for the asset registry and asset tagging:
• The asset tags at various levels must be included and incorporated into the handover
documents and drawings; most importantly, in the asset register.

• The project specification must specify the requirements for asset tagging and labeling
for all asset types. That includes tag design to make sure it includes useful
information about the Asset (e.g., location, system, component, unique numerical
number) for every system and its components in accordance with the naming
convention.

• The asset tags must be consolidated during the design, construction, testing and
commissioning, and handover stages.

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 3 6 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 Asset tagging requirements must be part of the project specifications included in the design
and tendering stage deliverables.

The requirements for asset tagging must include:

• all systems and their components

• tag identification code and letter code (in accordance with the district-room numbering
and systems and sub-system/components naming convention)

• tag material

• tag information to be displayed related to each system and its components

• tag color

• tag size and shape

• tag installation requirements to always ensure tag availability, accessibility, and

visibility.

Each Asset will be identified by a unique asset identification number. The asset identification
number will contain the equipment standard code in accordance with asset tagging
specifications. The same asset identification will be used to identify the asset Code in the
CMMS system. The CMMS system will be the database for all asset information from district
to component level and the related information.

In addition to asset tagging, any spare parts to be provided during the construction,
handover & close-out stages must be labeled and tagged before handover from the
construction contractor to the O&M contractor.

Each spare part must be labeled or tagged to include information such as:
• manufacturer

• model number

• equipment name

• spare classification

• manufacturer’s part number

• entity spare code number

• shelf life/expiry date

• preservation requirements.

The forms in Section 9 can be used as a guide.

During the O&M stage, and depending on the type of the project, asset tags can be part of
the O&M performance management system to ensure that they are continuously
maintained, updated, and available on-site at all times.

8.1.2 Barcodes

Tags that can be read by a machine are the preferred system used during the O&M stage to
facilitate the tracking of assets. Barcodes can be used to record assets, inventory, and

DOCUMENT CODE: NEOM-NEN-PRC-020 REVISION CODE: 03.00 PAG E 3 7 OF 39

©NEOM [2022]. All rights reserved.

 identify products, materials plant, check-in/check-out tools, and so on. These processes can
be facilitated by hand-held readers, mobile computers, and maintenance and inventory
management software which will have complete information and records of every Asset.

Barcode identification numbers need to be linked to the asset numbering and components:
• Building code

• Floor code

• Room code

• System-Subsystem/Component standard code

• Asset number. The asset number will be allocated in sequential order or count of
assets depending on asset type and the total number of the specific asset types in the
room

• The location where the barcode will be installed needs to be allocated.

Other information related to the Asset (starting from the district level) will be stored in an
organized electronic format (preferably in accordance with COBie templates) and uploaded
to the CMMS as the source of data for all assets.

When setting the technical requirements for barcodes, the following should be considered:
• spatial barcodes asset identification

• item count barcodes asset identification

• physical unique barcode

• barcode for redundant equipment

• barcode for new, modified, or existing assets.

A process flow for asset identification is required to summarize the requirements for new,
modified, and existing assets.

8.2 Assets Requiring COBie Data

Design Consultants and Contractors must include all maintainable building/infrastructure

assets included in the design documents in the COBie file. The properties defined in the BIM
and GIS Procedure (NEOM-NEN-PRC-009) for each maintainable asset must be provided
at the Handover stage.

As stated in Section 7.3, the level of maintenance should be defined by the Asset
