Mapeamento do processo de desenvolvimento de projetos de água fria em ambiente BIM utilizando a metodologia BPMN

Abstract

The development of building services design projects has become progressively more complex due to increasing technical requirements, the need for multidisciplinary coordination, and shorter delivery deadlines. In this context, the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) combined with process mapping methodologies, such as Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), emerges as an effective alternative for organizing, standardizing, and improving workflows in design offices. This study aims to map the development process of hydraulic design projects in an engineering firm using the BPMN methodology and to validate this mapping through its practical application in a real case study. The results indicate the occurrence of multiple revisions throughout the process, resulting both from late client decisions and from interferences between disciplines, directly impacting the project development timeline. Based on the analysis of the results, it is concluded that process mapping contributes to the identification of bottlenecks, critical points, and opportunities for improvement, reinforcing the importance of standardization and the integration of BIM and BPMN for optimizing the development of hydraulic design projects.
