Abstract: In the development of a building design it is important to produce accurate and reliable information, based on a high level of interoperability between systems. It is also necessary to establish good communication between those responsible committed in the project. The main objective of the study consists of a comparative analysis between the traditional process and the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology, focusing on the structural component of the project. The study allows the identification of limitations and problems resulting from the analysis of a specific case, and the proposed recommendations and best practices to promote achieving a higher degree of efficiency. Despite interoperability problems verified, the adoption of BIM methodology brings benefits to the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector through technical improvements, reducing the duration of tasks and increasing their efficiency.

Keywords: BIM, Structures, Analyses, Interoperability, Workflow.
