Diseño BIM de instalaciones hidrosanitarias, eléctricas y contra incendios para edificio IMCHEROVI en Machala

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to design, through the BIM methodology, the hydrosanitary, electrical, and fire protection systems of a commercial building in Machala, ensuring efficiency, safety, and resource optimization. The objective is to guarantee compliance with the Ecuadorian Construction Standards (NEC) and international codes such as NFPA, under the hypothesis that BIM integration enhances interdisciplinary coordination, reduces design errors, and generates more reliable models. The justification lies in the need to adopt digital tools that strengthen the planning and execution of commercial buildings in expanding urban areas. For the development, architectural plans, current technical standards, and Revit software were employed, which enabled the collaborative modeling of MEP systems, verification of clashes, and real-time design adjustments. The results showed that the use of BIM facilitated the integration of the installations, ensured regulatory compliance, and provided precise technical documentation for the execution of the project. It is concluded that this methodology constitutes an effective tool to improve design quality, optimize resources, and ensure sustainability in the development of installation systems for |commercial buildings.
