A Sinergia Estratégica de Lean Construction e BIM: Fatores de Adoção e Impacto na Performance e Sustentabilidade da Construção Civil

The construction industry, which has historically faced low productivity and high waste, is seeking to improve its performance and adopt sustainable practices. This research suggests analyzing the synergy between Lean Construction (LC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to reveal its principles, obstacles, and performance improvements. LC seeks to maximize customer value and eliminate waste (muda) by considering production as an uninterrupted flow. On the other hand, BIM transforms 2D drawings into 3D information systems that can be read by machines, increasing efficiency. Integrating LC with BIM, leveraging its use with Last Planner System (LPS) and Agile Design Management (ADM) tools, provides significant improvements in workflow and productivity, optimizing resource utilization and promoting sustainable construction. This implementation becomes complicated because it encounters cultural barriers within the organization, such as resistance to change and a lack of knowledge of the Lean methodology. It is concluded that the systemic and inclusive (bottom-up) adoption of LC and BIM is a promising path to ensure long-term competitiveness and sustainable growth of the industry.
