ANÁLISIS COMPARATIVO PARA LA OPTIMIZACIÓN DE RECURSOS DE LA ETAPA 5 DE LA URBANIZACIÓN COSTASOL, UBICADO EN LA CIUDAD DE GUAYAQUIL

Abstract

This work focuses on addressing misconceptions and lack of knowledge surrounding the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in the context of Ecuador. BIM is often perceived as a complex and unique tool, limiting its use in the Ecuadorian construction industry. However, this research aims to demonstrate that BIM implementation can significantly enhance resource management, interdisciplinary coordination, and reduce construction costs. The main goal of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis in how BIM implementation can significantly optimize resources in the construction phase of the "Basilea" project, located in Guayaquil. To achieve this goal, several specific objectives have been established. Firstly, project information for "Basilea" in the CostaSol development was surveyed. Next, for a typical house, each engineering area involved was modeled, quantities were quantified, and construction plans were generated using BIM digital tools. Subsequently, an interference review between different engineering disciplines was conducted through BIM digital review and coordination tools. Finally, construction costs for a typical house were calculated, comparing the BIM methodology with the traditional approach. Ultimately, through the BIM methodology, a reduction in quantities and resources used in the typical house of the Basilea project was demonstrated, highlighting the effectiveness of this methodology in cost and quantity management, directly contributing to the financial optimization of construction projects.
