Adoção do BIM em facility management em edificações: estudo de caso no Edifício Caiçara

Abstract

There is currently a growing concern for the preservation of historical past, including monuments and ancient buildings. In this context, this project proposes the adoption of an alternative technological approach for managing modern buildings located in the historic center of São Luís. To ensure that a building achieves the specified performance as defined in the projects and that the cost of the operational phase is minimized, careful planning of the Maintenance Management process is fundamental. Furthermore, it is essential to employ tools and methods that help meet the necessary requirements to ensure the building's lifespan. In this context, the adoption of effective Maintenance Management practices becomes crucial to optimize the building's operation, mitigate unnecessary costs, and prolong its durability. The implementation of preventive and predictive maintenance programs, the use of advanced monitoring technologies, and the formation of specialized teams are some of the strategies that can be adopted to achieve these objectives, making the administration and maintenance of these buildings more efficient and practical. The proposed solution consists of implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in a modern historical building in São Luís, titled as Caiçara Building. BIM involves the use of tools that create a detailed three-dimensional model of the building, incorporating parameterized information. Additionally, it promotes high interoperability among all involved in the project, facilitating collaboration and ensuring data consistency and integrity. This reduces information duplication and the need for rework. Although BIM can be applied in all phases of a construction project, in this work, the focus is on the management and maintenance stage of the built model. To fully understand the benefits of using BIM in this context, it is essential to have knowledge of Facility Management principles that involve specific activities to improve building performance, adapted to the characteristics of the analyzed project.
