MACHADO, E. L.; SOTSEK, N. C.; SCHEER, S.  and  SANTOS, A. de P. L.. Selection of constructive systems using BIM and multicriteria decision-making method. Rev. ALCONPAT [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.2, pp.209-223.  Epub Aug 28, 2020. ISSN 2007-6835.  https://doi.org/10.21041/ra.v8i2.246.

This study aimed to identify whether the use of a BIM platform software associated with the AHP decision-making method can assist in the decision-making process during the design phase of projects. Three construction systems were analyzed: Load-bearing masonry, Light Steel Framing and Light Wood Framing. BIM modeling enabled scenario simulations and facilitated the extraction of data, which, in turn, assisted experts in the selection of the most appropriate constructive system, considering the established criteria. The originality of this research lies on the consideration of several factors relevant to constructive system choice. The limitation lies in modeling only the walls of the analyzed constructive systems, and not of the complete building.
