Description
Summary:This paper aims to introduce Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology into the process of construction to achieve more efficient buildings, considering sustainability, economic improvements, reduced waste, and time optimization. The study involves the design, 3D modeling, planning, and monitoring of the work to assess the advantages and limitations of BIM through a real simulation. The methodology comprises theoretical foundations, 3D modeling, budgeting, and work monitoring. The project commenced with a 2D blueprint using Autodesk AutoCAD, followed by 3D modeling in Autodesk Revit. The resultant building, serving as an information system with a database and 3D modeling, allows for automated budgeting. The advantages of BIM encompass an interface between project and program, an interface between software, realistic renderings, precise material specifications, and family modeling. Limitations include the absence of material families, reformatting of Autodesk Revit tables when transferred to the Microsoft Excel program, generic family models with distorted renderings of reality, and heavy files. Despite these limitations, the implementation of BIM in buildings proves beneficial for projects. Collaborative work among stakeholders, optimization of project stages, and the reduction of expenses and rework can be achieved.
