Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an increasingly common acronym among architects.
Most offices and professionals are already migrating or planning to switch to this system, which digitally represents the physical and functional characteristics of a building, integrating various information about all the components present in a project. Through BIM software it is possible to create a modelaccurate virtual data, providing greater cost control and increasing process efficiency. It is also possible to completely simulate the building, understanding its behavior before the start of construction, and providing support throughout all its phases, even once completed or during its dismantling and demolition.
✔ The BIM methodology is developed and applied mainly in new projects, but its potential in renovations is still little explored. Taking into account the urgency to improve spatial quality and the poor performance of most existing buildings, especially in relation to energy consumption, BIM can help make renovations more efficient, intelligent and sustainable.
✔ Allowing better control of the project stages, more and more owners, companies and governments are requesting the development of projects in BIM, providing greater detail of the budget, planning and preventive maintenance of the project, and helping to predict possible errors. and incompatibilities between systems. A project started on the BIM platform has a quite different approach to CAD, since all its components are represented, beyond their visible geometry; even those elements that are not obvious and that can greatly influence design decisions.
