Viabilidade da implantação de modelagem BIM em escritórios de pequeno porte

Abstract

The project preparation process is part of a set of tools, methods and policies linked to their management. In Brazil, the civil construction sector remains linked to traditional Computer Aided Design (CAD) methods for the planning, budget and schedule stages, having only recently started investments in new management processes aimed at improving the terms and costs involved. The objective of this work is to analyze the feasibility of implementing BIM methodologies in small project offices, based on a training system that has been used by some companies. In order to identify the productivity and financial gains obtained, a case study was carried out with two small companies, located in the city of Aracaju, capital of Sergipe, which mostly work with projects of the casa verde amarela program. Among the companies studied, one has Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies and processes implemented and the other uses traditional methods. Data were obtained through a field study, where information involving training costs, improvement in performance, reduction of professionals, customer satisfaction index and others, were collected and analyzed in order to obtain a comparison between them. The results obtained allowed us to analyze the feasibility in a more reliable way with the reality of architecture and engineering offices, which started to produce more efficiently despite the increase in costs arising from the new tools.
