AWP Methodology: Literature review and integration with BIM

AWP (Advanced Work Packaging) is a project management methodology that focuses on the physical division of the work and the planning of the construction sequence by installation, engineering and supply packages.The methodology was created in 2009 and aims to increase the predictability and productivity of the project.This article brings together the main information and challenges about AWP published since its conception and describes how the methodology can integrate and enhance the use of BIM 4D in construction planning and execution.The research method adopted was a structured literature review.At the end of the information gathering, an analysis was made of the application of the methodology integrating it with BIM, more specifically its use in planning.As a result, it is clear that the AWP methodology scenario still lacks information to prove the benefits of its application.This article contributes to organizing information on AWP and to reflecting on its benefits as a project management methodology, especially when integrated with BIM.
