O formato BIM no processo de planejamento e gestão da construção civil

Abstract

This work is structured around the concept of BIM Building InformationModeling also called Parametric Virtual Building Model. Its applying on process design and management in construction, as a proposal to positively influence the quality of the project, will be checked, once it allows solving the modeling of buildings, tools, budget and qualitative analysis of plans simultaneously, on the same computational database.The amount of information necessary to the development of plans and other technical documents that make up the building projects is large and requires the use of efficient information systems, able to process, transmit and disseminate data that represent the construction process information. The professionals in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) sector passed, a few years ago, by a major change in theprocesses of architectural and complementary planning design and process, on the transition from the traditional drawing and design tools to the digital age ones. Consequently, there is the configuration of a new way to experience the building architecture production process, using, increasingly, digital resources. For this, it is necessary knowing the new tools that emerge and evolve every day and understand how they can influence the design process and decision-making. This work was developed through extensive literature review and survey information for later analysis on the contribution of the BIM concept for building planningand execution quality as for the possibility of a more efficient construction management. Finally, it sought to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of BIM tools in order to assist the design process and management at AEC.
