BIM na área de projetos elétricos prediais: revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo

Abstract

This research, conducted through the collection of opinions from professionals in the field of electrical projects via online forms, aims to understand and analyze the inherent challenges of applying BIM in Electrical Engineering. The study references bibliographies covering the subject of BIM, particularly in the project segment. It seeks not only to identify technical, organizational, and cultural barriers but also to find effective ways to model and document electrical systems and coordinate different disciplines in construction projects. To ensure robustness in the research, various academic papers and books on BIM methodology are presented, along with interviews with employees of integrator companies and designers working with BIM. Additionally, surveys were conducted, to understand the level of knowledge on the subject and the aforementioned issues. The research indicates that the use of BIM has shown to facilitate communication between different disciplines, improve project visualization and coordination, and provide greater precision and quality of information. As a result, the majority of opinions are favorable towards the implementation of BIM. However, besides financial barriers, company culture significantly impacts the change or update of the methods used.
