Building Information Modeling (BIM) for managing job security in low-income housing projects
Keywords:
Workplace safety, BIM, ModelingAbstract
Civil construction has peculiar characteristics such as low communication between the designers and the site managers, in addition to a high turnover of construction workers, which creates difficulties to implement an effective safety culture. The emergence of technologies has contributed to the improvement of communication and security, an example is Building Information Modeling (BIM) that allows the computational modeling of the work, which provides detailed data of its progress even in the design phase. This research aims to model a vertical work of social interest. The modeling was based on the standards defined by NR 18. After the modeling was completed, the results were compared with the real scenario of the construction, aiming to assess incompatibilities with what is required by NR. For modeling, the software Revit, MS Project, and Naviswork were used. It was concluded that the work did not meet some aspects required by NR, in addition to a lack of projects, design errors, and execution problems. As for the site managers, it was evaluated that the use of BIM in their construction sites could bring benefits to their work and facilitate decision making.
