O uso da metodologia BIM em microempresas de Arquitetura e Engenharia Civil: estudo de caso no alto sertão alagoano

Abstract

Considering that the issues related to the management and implementation of the BIM process in a microenterprise in architecture and civil engineering encompass the understanding of the BIM process and its most commonly used products in projects, as well as the alteration of workflow and the management of the process and project, this study addresses the impact of the BIM concept and its communication in construction projects, aiming to improve collaboration and interoperability between construction companies and developers. The study demonstrated that a proper and comprehensive implementation of BIM throughout the Project lifecycle can increase efficiency and productivity in business operations. To achieve this, it was necessary to comprehend the microenterprise's objectives in adopting the BIM process, analyze technology usage, describe the microenterprise's organization, including process and people management, analyze BIM management and predictability in project production, and assess whether its implementation can foster the microenterprise's evolution and enable decision-making planning. A qualitative research approach was conducted, based on a case study. The research results were obtained through observations and email interviews, consisting of both objective, and discursive questions directed to the team involved in the design and organization process of the microenterprise. It is concluded that the adoption of BIM software and gradual process improvement are essential to address the identified problems and ensure the satisfactory growth of the microenterprise, avoiding losses by conducting risk analysis and assessing return on investment.
