Abstract

The implementation of information technologies for civil construction such as
Virtual Design and Construction/Building Information Modeling (VDC/BIM) represents a new
perspective on better practices in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and, Operation
(AECO). However, in the Brazilian scene, these practices are need methods for measuring
and process performance analysis of the information in the design process management,
demonstrating the lack of criteria documentation and indicators selection that contribute to
the improvement in the civil construction sector. It is a descriptive research exploring the
VDC Scorecard method and its application to Brazilian reality, based on existing literature
and documentary research in international and national databases, exploring the following
aspects: registered benefits; difficulties for implementation; and good practices in project
management. The research validates the importance of performance methods that are
appropriate to a national context, enabling the integration and control of information among
stakeholders in a collaborative virtual building model and the data ownership through
performance models configured by continuous analysis of the processes, organization and
product. This comprehension enables the documentation of effective practices in a database
for the design process management setting the model’s performance
