Estudo de caso das mudanças geradas pela implantação de BIM em uma construtora

Abstract

This paper aims to report, through a case study, the changes occurred in a construction company that stopped designing, scheduling and budgeting their works with CAD tools to use BIM tools. From an exploratory reading of the published works on BIM implementation, it is possible to highlight in theory a series of changes that occurred in the process of implementation and operationalization, to more complex aspects such as education, sector mobilization, corporate restructuring and its processes and training of professionals. As a result, a questionnaire composed of questions related to the researched topic was elaborated, aiming to obtain data to elucidate the research problem. It was structured in four parts and they are: BIM implementation process, process of managing team with BIM, impacts on the way of working, application of BIM in the design phase and in the construction phase. The interview for data collection of the Case Study was carried out in a medium-sized Brazilian construction company. In summary, it can be seen that the main changes that occurred after the implementation of BIM were in the themes related to contract management among stakeholders, information flows (designers, construction and contractor), project compatibilization, planning and scheduling and losses.
