For this purpose, the subprocess and the implementation of concrete structure, identified and classified the losses present in the process as well as losses resulting from implementation of the concrete structure, identifying its origins and consequences. The use of Information Technology and Communication Technology (ICT) with the tool Building Information Modeling (BIM) in this study, presented situations of design problems could be avoided with the use of resources and potential of BIM. | en |
