Utilização de ferramentas BIM no planejamento da construção civil: um estudo de caso na aplicação em projetos de escolas técnicas do estado do Maranhão

Abstract

Several factors have led the construction industry to seek higher levels of performance, improving its production planning and control systems. Currently, the private sector is using technology to ensure efficiency in all stages of project design and construction, using systems that cannot predict certain activities or problems in the production of the works. Thus, there is a need for planning and building control systems in civil buildings, which more effectively propose the expectations of performance inside and outside the construction site. The object of this research, Building Information Modeling (BIM), brings concepts and tools that can present advantages in the planning of corporate construction, which is the objective of this research. In order to draw the conclusions of this study, work was carried out based on the theoretical framework and case studies. The BIM technology emerging in this industry aims to completely change the way civil buildings are designed and developed. Compared to traditional planning and control methods, BIM technology has many advantages. These advantages are mainly based on the automation of processes, the visualization based on the generation of models and the increase in the available information necessary to support corporate decision-making. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time and cost of construction projects that can be used for BIM modeling.
