Desarrollo y aplicación de la metodología BIM para la planificación y ejecución de un proyecto inmobiliario en la ciudad de Quito : Realidad virtual con herramientas BIM.

Abstract

Currently, the construction industry is undergoing a large-scale revolution driven by new technological advances that are proven to improve project efficiency and management. This work is focused on applying a coordinated and efficient methodology to develop construction projects based on the collaborative work of all participants. It also reflects how the use of 3D visualization and AR tools improves collaboration between project participants. The BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology and Virtual Reality play a fundamental role in this industry revolution, as they facilitate clear and effective collaboration between the different participants of a work team, which in turn allows continuous reviews and project collaborations. This methodology not only optimizes collaboration between disciplines but also optimizes the way of managing errors or omissions that may occur throughout the project life cycle. The use of 3D visualization tools such as Enscape allows work teams to take virtual tours of the generated models and review them in detail in real time. This facilitates early identification of problems which in turn prevents costly fixes during the actual construction phase. On the other hand, Virtual Reality provides immersive experiences that allow clients, potential investors and design teams to visualize each of the project's characteristics in detail, offering an experience of realistic environments and improving decision making.
