Uso do BIM na construção civil: estudo de caso em uma construtora na cidade de fortaleza- CE

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) portrays a collaborative work and management process that brings together technologies, policies and processes that aim to optimize the performance of civil construction projects. However, despite the methodology bringing countless benefits to the sector, such as a better visualization of interferences between disciplines, budgets and more realistic planning, there are still difficulties in its diffusion and use in Brazilian companies, caused mainly by lack of knowledge. In this scenario, this work aims to identify how the implementation of BIM can be, in practice, in the design process of a construction company. For this, a bibliographical study and a structured interview were carried out through the application of questionnaires and a video meeting, with the person responsible for the projects of a construction company located in Fortaleza-CE, considered a national reference in innovation. As a result, it was observed that the organization has a differential in implementing BIM for approximately a decade, showing the importance of prototyping and gradual advancement with each new undertaking. It was also found that despite the long time of use, the methodology still has stages to be reached and that the advantages obtained outweigh the difficulties encountered throughout the process. Thus, the bibliography and the study of the success case raised by this work, identify essential steps for the use of BIM in a construction company, which can serve as a model for any company or professional that wishes to develop in it.
