Theoretical Framework: BIM (Building Information Modeling) has been considered an essential technology and has been gaining notoriety on the world stage in the area of construction and demolition waste management due to its compatibility with other advanced technologies. It presents itself as a viable alternative to reduce costs and waste in construction conglomerates by increasing transparency in the life cycle of civil construction projects. Method/Design/approach: In the development of this study, a methodological structure with characteristics of a case study was used. The study was classified as descriptive due to the need to gather information on indicators of loss of materials related to RCC and methods of using BIM in order to estimate the amount of construction waste. As for the methodological procedures, it was characterized as bibliographic and simulation. Results and conclution: BIM modeling proved to be efficient in making an initial prediction of the volume of waste generated in the construction stage of single-family units. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a useful tool for engineers, technicians and managers to think properly about solid waste management. In the future, it is necessary for researchers, representatives of civil society, public agencies and industry to unite so that real estate projects are implemented following the tripod of sustainability, as advocated by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Research implications: The results of this work are of great relevance for the sustainable development not only of the municipality of Garanhuns, but of the entire rural region of Pernambuco, since most municipalities in the region do not have their own Solid Waste Management Plan, which is one of the documents indicated by the 1 Universidade de Pernambuco (UPE), Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brazil.
