Among the potentialities of Building Information Modeling, decision-making based on model verifications and simulations is one to be highlighted. However, this process can become complex if the information is not accessible or if the BIM software used does not have functionalities to manipulate it. In this context, programming in engineering and architecture emerges as a way of customizing solutions, overcoming software limitations and, consequently, improving decision-making capacity during design in preliminary stages. In the present paper, the objective is to develop programming tools for project design, by plug-ins aimed at integrating information, making it possible to analyze and explore alternatives in a model. In order to meet this objective, tools were developed to verify the requirements of the Brazilian Performance Standard in BIM software. The method used to guide the development of the study is Design Science Research, a constructive approach to the development of artifacts linked to a specific theme as a means of prescribing a solution to a practical problem. As a result, the research artifact construction stage is presented by means of two plug-ins: one aimed at estimating the acoustic performance of vertical partition walls, and another for estimating the internal illuminance of rooms. It is concluded that the process of tool creation by designers allows, in addition to automating many of the project verification processes, the adequacy to particularities of a variety of possible specific scenarios, being able to make BIM software programming a way to overcome limitations of platforms and assist design decision making in early stages of the design development process.
