| dc.description.abstract | The theme of the recovery of historical buildings is current, especially in a period in which, for known
economic, financial, social and political reasons, interventions of new constructions and investment have
declined dramatically and investments, although contained, are diverted to energy rehabilitation and
functional recovery and restoration of existing buildings. Our country has a housing stock that, if properly
managed and developed, can turn into an asset by potential priceless. Often, however, customers, designers
and contractors are not ready for action in addressing the demanding projects on historical buildings, losing
opportunities for development and economic growth. Just think, for example, to the considerable funds that
the EU allocates periodically to facilitate the recovery of historic buildings and that often our country is not
able to find or spend. The most common causes of these inefficiencies are attributable to the reluctance - in
the fields of engineering and architecture - to the planning, management of enterprise-resource, teamwork,
updated, the industrialization of construction site, quality control and so on.
This PhD research is aimed to study, from the theoretical point of view and from the study of the state
of the art, the efficiency - in terms of productivity and quality of work - of a new approach for analysis,
management and control of the building process, through the use of the methodology of building information
modeling using two case studies of reference: the assessment of the applicability of the BIM Surveying to the
historical buildings and the possible benefits of the latter compared to the use of traditional survey methods.
Building information modeling, already widely used successfully in other countries as part of
interventions of new construction, it is a 'way of working' relatively young and little known in many
advanced counties, including Italy. It is configured as a holistic and coordinated method to assist architects,
engineers, customers, decision makers, maintenance staff and all those involved in the building project. In
the current traditional practice, the life cycle of a building - from design, to construction management, from
supply management to the maintenance work in the year - remains fragmented and based on a continuous
and not-organized exchange of information between the various actors involved in the construction process.
