Integración de la metodología BIM en el desarrollo del proyecto concesionario y taller automotriz – MantaCar de la empresa AUTOBIM, rol líder MEP y líder de sostenibilidad

Abstract

The MantaCAR project consists of the implementation of the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology in the comprehensive planning and design of a traditional automotive dealership located in the city of Manta. The project is developed on an approximate land area of 6,300 m², with a total built area of 3,000 m². The complex includes commercial exhibition areas (showroom), management offices, meeting rooms, spare parts warehouses, a mechanical workshop, cafeteria, locker rooms, vehicle wash facilities, and coworking spaces, creating a functional, modern environment focused on customer experience. The BIM methodology enables the integration of architectural, structural, and MEP models within a collaborative environment, facilitating interdisciplinary coordination, design optimization, cost and schedule management, and information traceability throughout the entire project life cycle. In this way, the client will have access to an intelligent digital asset capable of supporting the design, construction, operation, and maintenance phases of the dealership. The MantaCAR project incorporates the sixth BIM dimension (6D – Sustainability) as an enhancement to traditional BIM-based design and planning, allowing the model to be oriented toward the building’s environmental performance. This dimension enables the evaluation and optimization of energy efficiency, resource use, and environmental impact throughout the project life cycle. As a result, the BIM model becomes a strategic decision-making tool for sustainability, contributing to reduced operational costs and the development of a more efficient and responsible automotive dealership.
