Análisis de la Implementación y Beneficios del Uso de BIM en las Empresas Constructoras del Centro Histórico de Tunja

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation and benefits of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in construction companies located in the historic center of the city of Tunja. Its objective is to identify the level of adoption of this methodology, as well as the perceptions, barriers, and opportunities faced by companies in the sector regarding the incorporation of technological tools for construction project management.

The research was developed under a qualitative and descriptive approach, combining a literature review with the application of surveys conducted with local construction companies. This approach made it possible to compare the practices and experiences of organizations that have adopted BIM with those that continue to use traditional management methods. The results reveal a low level of BIM adoption in the study context, mainly associated with the lack of specialized training, high initial implementation costs, and the absence of regulatory or contractual requirements. Nevertheless, companies that have incorporated BIM report significant benefits, such as improved coordination among stakeholders, reduction of rework, and greater efficiency in project execution.

Finally, the study proposes a set of recommendations aimed at strengthening BIM adoption in the local construction sector, promoting more efficient, collaborative, and sustainable project management practices, in line with the needs and capacities of the urban context of the historic center of Tunja.
