Abstract

The construction sector is one of the most important for the national economy and one which employs a large workforce. However, it is also very inefficient, with a low productivity rate and high count of accidents, both small and severe. BIM appears as a way of facilitating a work methodology focused on the conception phase and done through digital processes, while also modernizing a sector that is somewhat behind in comparison with others. The present dissertation seeks to elaborate a BIM 8D based work methodology, exploring it´s capabilities in work preparation, schedule management and safety and health at the construction site. This methodology is based on a case study of a rehabilitation project taking place in Mouraria, Lisbon. The methodology utilizes 3 software programs present in the AEC sector (Architecture, Engineering and Construction): Revit, Microsoft Project and Navisworks Manage. Utilizing Revit, a tridimensional model of the case study was elaborated, being this the base of a BIM methodology. The planning and schedule of the construction were done in Microsoft Project. The coordination of the project was done in Navisworks Manage, while also performing a clash detection of the project. This program also enabled several simulations of possible construction risk situations and possible safety measures. Finally, it was proven the feasibility and verified the interoperability existing between the three programs. Further considerations are draw regarding the practical aspects of the programs, the viability of the methodology and how it would fit with the current reality of the construction sector.
