Generación de un plan de implantación BIM para la Municipalidad de Quinsaloma. Provincia de Los Ríos

Abstract

The efficiency in the public management of municipalities in Ecuador is directly dependent on the execution of quality civil works, which pose a challenge in their design and planning due to technological, structural, social, and economic limitations, inherent in a conventional methodological approach that does not meet current requirements. The Municipality of Quinsaloma faces obstacles such as lack of coordination and early detection of interferences, making it evident that there is a need for the implementation of a methodology that optimizes these processes. BIM allows an intelligent management of public works, reducing the problems that arise during project planning. This research was developed through a mixed methodology, where surveys and interviews based on the Pennsylvania State University´s Organizational BIM Assessment Profile tool were used to evaluate the initial BIM situation of the Municipality of Quinsaloma and the BIM uses, which served as the starting point for establishing the BIM objectives and goals. As a result, it was determined that the current maturity level is non-existent, and the defined target level for implementation is "managed," enabling the establishment of reference budgets and schedules, milestones that allow progress in the BIM implementation process. The results of this study propose an appropriate baseline for municipalities in Ecuador regarding BIM application, reducing costs and time in public works and generating development opportunities for the cantons. Keywords: BIM, BIM implementation in Ecuador, BIM project management for public works, BIM roadmap.
