The adoption of digital technologies positively contributes to more agile and integrated processes in all phases of the building life-cycle, namely with regard to project management activities. The implementation of BIM has been predominant in new building projects, but the current market cycle of the rehabilitation or refurbishing of existing buildings offers new opportunities of application to be explored. This paper explores such opportunities, namely with regard to the temporary construction works involved in urban rehabilitation projects with the preservation of the fa\u00e7ades of the original buildings. It specifically addresses the impacts of the modeling efforts of steel frames and structures needed to temporarily support fa\u00e7ades, after the demolition of the old buildings, and until the original fa\u00e7ade is reintegrated into the structural elements of the new building. In a BIM context, an 8D model is created to explore BIM capabilities in enabling more efficient occupation safety and health coordination and management activities in building rehabilitation projects, namely in improving and validating the demolitions and construction methods and sequencing, the scheduling of construction works, and the mandatory occupational risk prevention documents for the construction site. The development of the research was supported on the use of the available BIM software: Revit, to model the fa\u00e7ade and the temporary steel structural system; Microsoft Project, to schedule the construction works; Navisworks, to perform clash detection analyses and enable visual simulations for occupational risk, and its identification and mitigation. The study intends to contribute to the dissemination of BIM capabilities to improve occupation safety and health in construction, namely in rehabilitation projects involving temporary structures while contributing with innovative perspectives toward higher maturity in BIM implementation and use in the construction sector.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app122010577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]],"date-time":"2022-10-20T20:35:55Z","timestamp":1666298155000},"page":"10577","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["8D BIM Model in Urban Rehabilitation Projects: Enhanced Occupational Safety for Temporary Construction Works"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8992-9603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alc\u00ednia Zita","family":"Sampaio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Higher Technical Institute, University of Lisbon, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"CERIS\u2014Civil Engineering Research and Innovation for Sustainability, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Gon\u00e7alo B.","family":"Constantino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Higher Technical Institute, University of Lisbon, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7024-2679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuno M.","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Higher Technical Institute, University of Lisbon, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"CERIS\u2014Civil Engineering Research and Innovation for Sustainability, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Barbosa, F., Woetzel, J., Mischke, J., Ribeirinho, M.J., Matthew, S., Bertram, N., and Brown, S.
