A metodologia BIM no projeto hidráulico sanitário

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology has gained popularity for the development of civil construction projects. In this research, the use of BIM when developing a house plumbing system was studied by performing the exchange of information between different disciplines using the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standard. For this purpose, a Program Requirement (PNE) was applied to collect the necessary data for the case study while a BIM Execution Plan (PEB) was used for project management. These documents were the platform for coordinating the models and for the plumbing project of a 180m² residence. As a result, the whole project was modeled and documented using Revit software, undergoing the workflow proposed by PEB and a federated model after the coordination. This research found benefits of BIM when designing plumbing systems and shows that the coordination of the models between the disciplines avoids interference and design errors. Results also revealed the importance of communication between the project stakeholders and software for the optimal development of the projects, which shows the advantages of using documents such as PNE and PEB as tools to manage projects.
