Abstract(s)
A comunicação entre profissionais de Arquitetura, Engenharia e Construção (AEC) historicamente
apresenta dificuldades que frequentemente resultam em falhas de projeto e derrapagens do
orçamento. Nesse contexto, a metodologia Building Information Modeling (BIM) surge como uma
solução transformadora, ao integrar as diferentes disciplinas em um ambiente colaborativo. Guiada por
normas, guias e manuais, essa abordagem não apenas reduz ambiguidades e aperfeiçoa a coordenação
entre os intervenientes, como também promove maior eficiência, controlo de custos e prazos, além de
elevar a qualidade em todas as fases do processo construtivo.
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar o panorama da implementação da metodologia em
Portugal, identificando as suas aplicações, benefícios, desafios, bem como refletir sobre o seu potencial
futuro.
Para realizar esta análise foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a evolução do BIM, os principais
softwares utilizados e exemplos da sua implementação internacional, permitindo compreender as boas
práticas e a maturidade da adoção desta metodologia noutros países. Em complemento, procedeu-se à
utilização de um formulário enviado a empresas portuguesas de projeto, construção, fiscalização e
consultoria, através do qual se recolhem dados relativos ao grau de utilização do BIM, ferramentas mais
comuns, benefícios reconhecidos e ainda dificuldades encontradas.
Os resultados evidenciam que, apesar de os benefícios do BIM serem amplamente reconhecidos, a
adoção em Portugal permanece limitada e concentrada em algumas empresas de maior dimensão. As
principais barreiras identificadas foram o custo elevado de implementação, a falta de conhecimento
técnico especializado, a resistência à mudança e ainda a ausência de pressão regulatória.
Conclui-se que o crescimento do BIM em Portugal depende de medidas, tais como, a redução dos custos
de acesso, a promoção de formação especializada, a definição de políticas que incentivem ou obriguem
à sua utilização em projetos públicos e a demonstração clara do retorno económico da sua
implementação. Comparativamente com outros países europeus, Portugal apresenta um atraso
significativo, o que reforça a necessidade de uma aposta estratégica nacional que permita acelerar a
desenvolvimento do setor da construção.
Communication among professionals in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) has historically faced difficulties that often lead to design flaws and budget overruns. In this contexto, Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology emerges as a transformative solution by integrating diferente disciplines into collaborative environment. Guided by standards, guidelines and manuals, this approach not only reduces ambiguities and improves coordination among stakeholders but also promotes greater efficiency, cost and Schedule control, while enhancing quality throughout all phases of the construction process This dissertation aims to analyze the landscape of BIM implementation in Portugal, identifying its applications, benefits, and challenges, as well as reflecting on its future potential. To conduct this analysis, a literature review was carried out on the evolution of BIM, the main softwares used and exemples of its international implementation, providing insight into the best practices and the maturity of adoption in other countries. In addition, a survey was distributed to Portuguese companies in design, construction, supervision and consultancy, through which data was collected regarding the degree of BIM usage, the most common tools, recognized benefits and existing difficulties. The results show that, altough the benefits of BIM are widely acknowledged, its adoption in Portugal remains limited and concentrated in larger companies. The main barriers identified were the high cost of implementation, the lack of specialized technical knowledge, resistance to change and the absense of regulatory pressure. It is concluded that the growth of BIM in Portugal depends on measures such as reducing access costs, promoting specialized training, defining policies that encourage or mandate its use in public projects and clearly demonstrating its economic return. Compared with other European countries, Portugal shows a significant delay, highlighting the need for a national strategic commitment to accelerate the development of the construction sector.
