Implementation of 4D Buiding Information Modelling in The Steel Structure Workflow of The Paraqouai Sao Paulo Building Lospalos Using Navisworks Manage

Abstract

Steel structure construction necessitates high precision in planning and execution to ensure structural stability and operational efficiency. The Paraqouai Sao Paulo building project in Lospalos presents complex geometry and tight scheduling constraints, necessitating advanced construction management techniques. This paper demonstrates the application of 4D Building Information Modeling (BIM) using Navisworks Manage to optimize the steel structure workflow. The study integrates 3D models developed in Revit with construction schedules from Microsoft Project to create a dynamic 4D simulation that adheres to Level of Development (LOD) 350 standards. The methodology focuses on visualizing the erection sequence, identifying temporal clashes, and optimizing logistics planning for crane operations. The results indicate that 4D BIM significantly enhances constructability by detecting potential spatial conflicts prior to on-site work and improving communication among stakeholders. The simulation facilitated an optimized erection sequence, reducing the estimated project duration by 15.5% (from 90 days to 76 days). This study concludes that implementing Navisworks Manage is a strategic approach for managing complex steel structures in remote areas like Lospalos, ensuring timely and cost-effective project delivery.
