Abstract

The purpose of this communication is to associate the different knowledge areas of the PMBOK and the different software in the market, and how can they be used to add value to the BIM project through its development according to the Levels Of Development (LOD) established by the document G202-2013 “Project Building Information Modeling Protocol Form” from the American Institute of Architects (AIA). For this objective, an analysis of available software and their role in the BIM process will be performed, in order to classify them firstly by their use and function in the different areas of knowledge of the PMBOK, and secondly, by the Level Of Development (LOD) from which they can begin to be used. Given that one software can be used in more than one area of knowledge or LOD, a classification according to the suitability for the use will be performed, establishing a matrix relationship that places the different existing software in the market according to the area of knowledge and Level Of Development to which they are applicable.
