The BIM Diagnostic assesses people, processes, technology, and management to reveal the true level of maturity of your company and point the way to the most efficient evolution without waste.
Investing in BIM without a BIM diagnostics Prior to the initial assessment, it's like hiring someone for a construction project without a structural inspection report: the problem doesn't appear immediately, it only becomes apparent when it costs more to fix.
According to data from the McKinsey Global Institute, between 11% and 42% of a construction budget It is consumed by rework. Much of this waste stems from poorly structured BIM processes, not from a lack of software.
BIM Diagnostics exists to change that.
What is BIM Diagnostics?
O BIM Diagnosis It is a structured assessment that measures a company's level of maturity in relation to the BIM methodology.
He doesn't just check if the team is using modeling software, but analyzes the full set of factors that determine whether BIM is actually generating results within the organization.
According to National Digital Maturity Survey 2025, Of the 94% companies in Brazil, many are still in the early stages of adopting BIM. Most invested in tools. Few invested in processes.
The diagnosis separates these two scenarios and points to the most efficient path for improvement.
What is evaluated in a BIM Diagnostic?
The diagnosis analyzes four fundamental pillars. Each one reveals a different layer of the company's BIM maturity and, together, they form a complete picture of what needs to evolve.
1. People
It assesses the team's level of knowledge in BIM, how professionals organize themselves on a daily basis, and the existence of someone responsible for managing the process.
BIM doesn't work without skilled people with clearly defined roles.
A team that uses the tool without understanding the methodology behind it tends to reproduce the same results, regardless of the software used.
2. Processes
It analyzes workflows, the exchange of information between disciplines, and the existence of defined standards for modeling and delivery.
Without a structured process, each project starts from scratch. The mistakes are repeated. lack of standardization It is one of the main causes of rework in the AEC sector and is rarely visible until the problem has already generated costs.
3. Technology
It verifies whether the tools being used are adequate for the company's needs and whether their potential is being fully utilized. The diagnosis identifies this gap and indicates how to close it.
4. Information Management
It assesses how project information is stored, shared, and tracked throughout the entire process, including approval and review workflows.
Decentralized information is one of the biggest generators of rework in the industry. When different teams work with different versions of the project, conflict is only a matter of time.
Why conduct a BIM diagnosis before investing more?
Without a diagnosis, any investment in BIM runs the risk of being misdirected.
The diagnosis breaks this cycle. It identifies where the gaps are, defines priorities, and points the way to the most efficient evolution, respecting the moment and reality of each company.
With the Decree 11.888/2024 making BIM mandatory in public works and New Bidding Law By demanding technical compliance, companies that fail to structure their processes now arrive too late and pay more to adapt.
What are the BIM maturity levels?
The BIM Diagnostic classifies companies into four levels. Knowing which level your organization falls into is the first step in understanding what needs to change and what is already working.
| Level | Profile |
| Pre-BIM | Predominant use of 2D CAD, initial interest in BIM, without a structured process. |
| Low Level | Initial steps in adoption, learning curve underway, processes not yet integrated. |
| Intermediate Level | BIM applied more broadly, with a focus on optimization and collaboration between teams. |
| High Level | BIM integrated into all processes, consolidated culture, data-driven decisions. |
Each level has a specific set of recommendations, and that's exactly what the diagnosis delivers.
