Construction projects often exceed budgets and deadlines, evidencing the need for collaborative methodologies such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). This research evaluates their influence on the design stage of residential buildings through a case study in Peru, managed by an SME. The methodology includes: (1) diagnosis of management through documentary review and interviews, (2) proposal of tools based on BIM and IPD, and (3) validation through statistical analysis and a validation matrix. Nine typical problems were identified, such as deficiencies in plans, measurements and budgets, and poor planning. Eight optimization tools were proposed, including NEC4 ECC contracts, Trimble Connect, Revit, Navis-works, contractor integration, ICE Sessions, 3D, 4D, and 5D BIM models. The 3D model showed 0.48 interferences per m2, the 4D facilitated the monitoring of progress, and the 5D optimized costs by 5.28%. The validation process highlighted the NEC4 ECC Contract, the integration of the contractor, and the 3D and 5D BIM models (Revit and Navisworks) as the most effective tools. This study provides evidence on the implementation of BIM and IPD to optimize the management of residential buildings.
