Modelagem e compatibilização de projetos em BIM: Estudo de Caso

Abstract

The BIM technology has innovated the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry by presenting itself as a tool that provides greater agility, practicality, and simplified project coordination, incorporating automatic interference detection. In this regard, this study aims to investigate the efficiency of BIM application in project coordination. To achieve this, the modeling and coordination of architectural, structural, plumbing and electrical projects were carried out, all pre-existing in 2D, for a 353 m² fast-food chain restaurant. The resulting models revealed various inconsistencies in the projects that were not previously identified by their authors. The interference analysis revealed the existence of 127 Clashes between disciplines, with the structural area responsible for 78% of these conflicts. Some serious incidents were also highlighted in the structural project's stairs, emphasizing the importance of meticulous coordination from the initial phases of the project, especially when dealing with structural elements. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the implementation of BIM in project coordination, with an emphasis on modeling and coordination, is effective in identifying interferences and incompatibilities. However, the success of this approach depends on the quality of the modeling, collaboration between disciplines, and the proper use of BIM tools. In the Brazilian context, where BIM usage still faces challenges, especially due to a lack of information and adequate training, this study emphasizes the importance of overcoming these obstacles to fully enjoy the benefits of this technology.
