With the increased use of technology in design processes, BIM (building information modeling) tools user’s community has started to develop solutions through external applications such as plug-ins to automate specific and repetitive tasks, amplify interoperability and add functionality versatility to BIM platforms. This paper seeks to evaluate Autodesk Revit platform plug-ins’ state of the art, by means of a quantitative study of current repositories and the proposition of a categorization system of the purposes to which plug-ins are developed. Then a comparison between use and necessity of Brazil’s AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry was done through a questionnaire with experienced professionals of the area. An analysis was carried out based on the professional’s difficulties in meeting the requirements of Brazilian Performance Standard and compliance with Environmental Certification provisions, underpinning the possibility of using plug-ins to optimize the design processes under the perspective of performance and sustainability.
