MODELAGEM DE PROJETOS ELÉTRICOS: A metodologia BIM aliada ao software Builder.

Abstract

This study addresses the modeling of electrical projects using Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in conjunction with the Builder software. The research highlights the advantages of this integration compared to the conventional method using AutoCAD, demonstrating greater efficiency, accuracy, and integration among engineering disciplines. The BIM methodology enables integrated three-dimensional modeling and automates calculations and technical documentation, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration. Builder software stands out for its ability to automatically reconcile projects and reduce errors. Through a comparative analysis, it was found that Builder surpasses AutoCAD in terms of automation, usability, and efficiency, though it presents challenges such as a steep learning curve and initial cost. It is concluded that integrating BIM and Builder into electrical projects represents a substantial advancement, fostering sustainability, resource efficiency, and enhanced quality across constructions of varying scales.
