Avaliação do uso de metodologias BIM em projetos de construção civil na microrregião do Baixo Jaguaribe-CE

Abstract

Civil construction is an important sector of the Brazilian economy that is constantly improving in order to obtain better results and optimize processes/costs. Among the innovations available in the market in this field for civil construction, the adoption of Building Information Model (BIM) has proved to be very necessary in recent years, capable of bringing numerous advantages, among them the compatibility between projects, efficiency in the face of design changes, the necessary support for decision-making throughout the life cycle of the building and the possibility of analyzing different scenarios. The present work aims to measure and discriminate the local panorama of use of BIM technologies in the development of engineering projects in the micro region of Baixo Jaguaribe in the state of Ceará. A qualitative and descriptive research was used as a methodology and a questionnaire applied to 35 (thirty-five) civil construction professionals who work in the micro-region was used as an instrument. The research reached civil engineers and architects, being autonomous, linked to private companies, and city halls. Noting that 74.3% of these professionals use BIM software to model with initial and medium levels, and among these, only 57.1% make their projects compatible. Also, there is a portion of 25.7% that do not use BIM software in their activities, but consider the implementation of the resource important and necessary. In this sense, it is concluded that BIM is not yet fully used in the Vale do Jaguaribe Region, lacking professionals with a higher level of training to contribute to the acceleration of development in the region through the elaboration of projects in civil construction with use of all available resources of BIM software.
