The design development stage is one of the most important stages for the quality of the project, as all parameters of a proposal are defined. Furthermore, the creation, coordination, and visualization of the project has undergone changes since the adoption of BIM. Thus, it is necessary to have information control and efficient process management. This article aims to map the design process and the flow of information in BIM in architecture companies in the city of Florianopolis, SC. This research uses different data collection instruments: characterization form, questionnaires, analysis of documentation, and interviews. The results presented in this article correspond to one case analyzed, out of a total of three cases studied in the corresponding master's research. It was observed that the discipline of Architecture guided the process, using an integrated model. The results indicated that the design process in the analyzed case was integrated, but not simultaneous; the project deliveries of the other disciplines took place on different dates. Advantages and disadvantages were identified, highlighting the benefit of greater information control, better interaction between professionals involved in the process, ease of visualization of the project, improved compatibility between disciplines. The disadvantages were associated with a partial adherence of those involved in the availability of information models within the stipulated deadlines, the variety of BIM and CAD tools used, and projects delivered in PDF, making interoperability and modeling reuse difficult.
