Propuesta para la mejora en el desarrollo de proyectos de un estudio de arquitectura a partir de la metodología BIM: Análisis comparativo de CAD y BIM en un proyecto de retail

Abstract

The way architectural projects are designed and coordinated is undergoing a transition, the transition from traditional methodology generally using Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs to a Building Information Modeling (BIM) Methodology. This is what companies dedicated to the design and or construction of buildings should already have implemented in their workflows as it generates numerous benefits. To account for the aforementioned, the research aims to determine a new workflow in a specific company called Vannelli, dedicated to the design of architectural projects for large surfaces throughout Latin America and what processes must be performed to reach this goal. It begins by analyzing traditional methodologies and the BIM methodology. This analysis will be carried out using surveys and interviews with designer, client and all the specialities that are involved throughout the project development, Identifying the drawbacks that have happened using traditional methodology. After an actual project is carried out under the BIM methodology, the data extracted will be compared based on three aspects: time optimization, economic savings, and Product Quality, thus creating arguments to determine how beneficial or harmful the change of methodology can be. After the analysis, a new process map will be proposed where the activities that must be carried out in the project development are identified, based on the BIM methodology.
