Descrição
Resumo:[EN] Efficient scheduling is essential for successful and sustainable road construction projects. However, conventional planning approaches often lack adaptability, visualization, and integration with modern technologies, leading to schedule deficiencies and cost overruns. Therefore, this paper studies the influence of BIM uses in mitigating planning deficiencies in road construction scheduling. A four-stage research method was employed: (1) identification of BIM uses relevant to road projects, (2) determination of principal causes contributing to scheduling deficiencies, (3) cross-impact analysis to quantify BIM¿s influence on these deficiencies, and (4) expert interviews to characterize key BIM uses. Results highlight that 4D construction planning, quantity take-off and cost estimation, and traffic management planning positively impact road scheduling, reducing errors in work breakdown structures, resource allocation, and coordination between project stakeholders. BIM streamlines communication, supports proactive risk management, and enables real-time schedule adjustments by providing an integrated digital environment. This research shows the advantages of applying BIM in road construction to improve project planning, curtail scheduling setbacks, and encourage adopting innovative practices. The results provide information that planners can utilize to enhance the use of BIM in scheduling road construction projects.
