Mensuração da Maturidade BIM nas Construtoras Cearenses

Abstract

With the increase in demand for final product, competitiveness in the civil construction market, and the increasingly strict control over production and quality, it is necessary that changes occur within this industry, including an increase in the use of information and communication technology (ICT). Among the innovations proposed in this field for civil construction, the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has recently been gaining momentum. The present study evaluates the BIM maturity of a select group of construction companies in the State of Ceará. To this end, several measurement models mentioned in the literature were studied and a research tool consisting of a questionnaire was developed for research analysis purposes and then interviews were carried out. Among the results found, it was possible to obtain the BIM level of the construction companies and their respective maturities, and in the process also some specific characteristics and comparisons. The analysis showed that there are capabilities with a good level of maturity but also others that need improvement. When analyzing the situation as a whole, it can be concluded that the greatest proportion of maturity is concentrated in the lower-intermediate and intermediate levels.
