Abstract

This work aims to approach the characteristics of a project management of civil works, their tools, problems and risks. As methodology, we did an extensive literature research about the subject. It was found that a project is a set of interdependent tasks that contribute in some way to the expected goals. It was found that the contracts establish the relationships between those involved in the management of a work. The highlights were the main types of contracts, their peculiarities, advantages and disadvantages. According to PMBOK (2004), risk is an uncertain event that occurs will cause a positive or negative effect on project. Its management aims to increase the probability and impact of positive events and decrease the probability and impact of undesirable events. It is the author's experience that currently in Brazil are rare ventures that reach their full schedule targets, cost and performance. It was felt that the management of civil works is being seriously considered in every detail by the experts, and talent, technical ability, integrity and pursuit of excellence are essential to the success of the projects.
