Building information modeling (BIM) to manage desing and construction phases of Peruvian public projects = Building information modeling (BIM) para la gestión del diseño y construcción de proyectos públicos peruanos

An approach of the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in public projects is presented. The aim of this research is to obtain benefits on the design stage based on a collaborative and integrated processes which involves all the stakeholder’s participation for the understanding of the project through the visualization of BIM models in order to avoid interferences and future problems. This will cause the reduction additional costs (over budget) and term extensions during the construction phase. Although BIM should be used since the design stage, this study will provide an approach of BIM application on projects that already has an approved technical file which the BIM fill focused on the construction stage. The literature review shows successful experiences of BIM implementation in Europe, Asia and America, where the construction time and cost were significantly reduced by the use of BIM. This approach starts by the understanding of the BIM uses related with the collaborative work and align them to the needs of the Peruvian construction industry in a gradual, sustainable and growing commitment, which must start by the government dictate that will be the one that defines a “roadmap” to follow.
