Eficiência Proporcionada Pelas Dimensões Dos Processos BIM No Ciclo De Vida Das Edificações Análise De Implementação Em Pequenas Empresas

Abstract

The construction sector, due to the transformations of the globalized world and the advances of information technology, is undergoing a transition period regarding the methodologies employed in the different phases of design, execution and operation. Linked to this, Building Information Modeling technology emerges, enabling the conception of more complex architectural and engineering projects. Moreover, based on interdisciplinary interoperability, it has direct benefits to the quality and performance of enterprises. In this study, we sought to analyze the efficiency provided by the different dimensions of BIM processes in the life cycle of buildings, addressing their definitions and complementing the research by conducting an analysis of technology implementation in small companies in the construction sector. It was found that the transition process still has some barriers, such as the lack of knowledge of professionals in the area, the demand for relatively high investments, and the need to break cultural patterns and paradigms. However, the companies studied assume that it is undeniable that the integrated project model offers numerous benefits for the entire building construction process and even after the completion of these buildings, that is, the stored information contributes to the integrity of the enterprises throughout their life cycle.
