Metodologia para coordenação multidisciplinar na construção civil: protocolo para compatibilização de projetos

Abstract

Project compatibility in civil construction is an essential process to ensure efficient integration between different disciplines, minimizing errors and rework that can directly impact costs and execution timelines. This study proposes the development of a Project Compatibility Protocol, structured based on traditional methodologies and the use of advanced technologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), to optimize coordination between structural, architectural, and complementary disciplines. Initially, the research was based on a comprehensive literature review to contextualize the importance of project compatibility, exploring fundamental concepts such as MacLeamy’s Curve, which demonstrates the impact of early decision-making on cost reduction. Next, the study discusses the main complementary disciplines and the challenges faced in project compatibility, analyzing conventional methodologies, such as 2D project overlays, meetings between designers, and checklists, compared to BIM-based methodologies, including 3D modeling, clash detection, and collaborative integration. The methodology involved the development and application of a compatibility protocol, detailing its structuring and coordination workflow among the disciplines involved. To validate its effectiveness, the protocol was applied in real case studies of high-end developments within a large construction company in Curitiba, Brazil, allowing for result analysis, challenge identification, and verification of improvements compared to traditional methods. The results were discussed through a comparative analysis between conventional approaches and the proposed protocol, highlighting its limitations and benefits. Among the identified advantages, the reduction of rework, optimization of resources, mitigation of design failures, and improvement in multidisciplinary team communication stand out. Furthermore, suggestions for continuous process improvement and recommendations for future research on project compatibility in civil construction were presented. This study contributes to the construction sector by providing a structured protocol to enhance project quality, ensuring greater accuracy in all phases, from conception to execution, consequently reducing costs, timelines, and pathological issues related to poor project compatibility, while promoting greater efficiency and sustainability in civil construction.
