Uso de sistemas Bim em projetos hidrossanitários: Estudo de caso para uma residência de padrão médio

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a system developed by construction industry that is essential to provide the human and financial resources optimization. BIM presents the Concurrent Engineering concept, which means working with several design disciplines in parallel, in addition to creating an effective means of communication between stakeholders and, then, the final construction result is more accurate due to the information preservation during the process. The improvement of this concept resulted in the development of technologies and programs that are able to produce real result for constructions planning and also for projects conception. Software, such as Revit from Autodesk, are fundamental application able to simulate and to produce dynamic environment, accessible to all involved disciplines. Therefore, this work approaches concepts related to BIM methodology like interoperability and project compatibility. In addition, it is the main goal of this study to demonstrate the development of mid-range home plumbing project and highlight the BIM technology usage to obtain the best project execution results with the final creation of 3D models. Thus, this work resulted on detailed blueprint generation and quantitative data that allowed, through 3D virtual model creation, to assure that the project is being properly representing what is desired to construct in the reality with compatible disciplines of sewer, cold water, hot water and rain drainage.
