Processo de implantação do bim em uma construtora de pequeno porte

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a concept that modifies the processes in which the buildings are planned, analysed, built and managed (HARDIN; AIA, 2009). When implanted correctly, it supports the integration between architects and engineers, and with a better transfer of information, results in a final product with the desired quality, lower costs and planned duration (EASTMANN et al., 2008). This article aims to show the result of the implementation of BIM in a small construction company, in Fortaleza, Ceará. The methodology applied consists in the BIM implantation in four specific cases. Each case represents one business, and in each where held reunions with the professionals involved, measured the time indicator of modelling processes and determined which information were useful for each member. As a result, it was noticed an interaction improvement between team members of the construction company and the others involved, besides findings such as: expeditious analysis of projects, visualization of interferences between different projects, anticipation of constructive decisions and budget improvement. Thereby, this article contributes to evidence that, with a few initial efforts, it is possible to obtain brief and positives results in many areas during the lifecycle of an enterprise.
