DIAGNOSTICO PRÉ ADOÇÃO BIM EM PEQUENOS ESCRITÓRIOS

Abstract

Civil construction is a complex industry that involves several decision-making processes that directly affect the environment through the way in which natural resources are used in the construction, operation and maintenance of the building. The concept of Building Information Modeling, BIM, proposes the approximation and collaboration between different professionals in the design of building projects through the virtualization of geometric characteristics and other characteristics considered important throughout the life cycle of a building. There is extensive national and international literature that can be used as a reference for structuring BIM implementation processes in developers and construction companies. However, there is little material that helps the implementation of BIM processes in micro, small and medium companies, common in an extremely segmented industry such as Construction. Conducted by the Design Science Research method, this study aimed to understand the differences and similarities of small offices that have or have not adopted BIM, with the aim of proposing a pre-implantation BIM diagnostic tool. The application of such a tool can favor a successful BIM implementation through prior incremental investment in human and material resource. The results are available to the public on a website developed for research.
