Implantação da metodologia BIM em um pequeno escritório de projetos: estudo de caso

Abstract

Civil construction constantly needs new technologies to improve the delivery of products and services. And, the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology emerged to generate advances during the life cycle of a building. BIM consists of a union of technology and processes for modeling the virtual construction of a building, in a collaborative way between a team, during the entire building phase. In this case study, a small office, seeking improvements in processes and projects, analyzed that the implementation of BIM could bring benefits. This office has as main focus the development of residential projects of the Minha Casa Minha Vida program. To achieve the objectives, five stages were defined within the lifecycle of a standard residential enterprise. The results of using the methodology provided the possibility to obtain projects with a greater amount of information, visualization and understanding of what will be built through 3D models. In addition to reducing incompatibilities and errors, both in the development phase of projects and throughout construction.
