Uso da metodologia BIM em escritórios de empresas de construção que atuam em projetos de obras públicas, um estudo multicaso em empresas de João Pessoa

Abstract

Effective construction project management is crucial to ensure the quality and ef ficiency of construction works, especially in a challenging context of growing demand for infrastructure and buildings. In this scenario, Building Information Modeling (BIM) method ology stands out as a powerful ally. This work aimed to investigate the application of BIM in construction companies involved in public construction projects in João Pessoa, using a multi-case study involving four companies. The objectives encompassed identifying the reasons and benefits of adopting BIM, evaluating the level of expertise of the companies in the methodology, identifying the challenges faced, and comparing project efficiency be fore and after BIM implementation. The results obtained demonstrate some variations in usage, expertise, maturity level, among other aspects, reflecting different implementation approaches. The use of BIM not only enhances project visualization but also strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration, reducing conflicts and minimizing errors. Furthermore, its implementation translated into significant benefits in team organization and integration, resulting in operational cost savings and improved quality. Thus, it is concluded that BIM plays a fundamental role in transforming the construction industry, driving a more efficient and integrated approach in the execution of public construction works.
