Planejamento de obras civis : um estudo de caso de uma unidade de ensino infantil que apresentou patologias na edificação

Abstract

The civil construction has currently been one of the great highlights in the market. That has undergone significant changes due to the large investments in the field of civil construction. This evolution reflected growth and competitiveness. However, the globalization of the civil construction market has been demanding durable and sophisticated goods. And on the other hand, there is a reduced availability of financial resources for works in the public or private sector. With this scenario, companies realized that investing in management and planning is part of the company's control and management process. The present work was based on consulted bibliographical research and visual inspection, aiming to discuss and evaluate several pathological manifestations presented in concrete structures in a public power work, such as cracks, subsidence in the floor, painting, and waterproofing, etc. These occurrences generate inconvenience both for the contractor that is executing, as for the public agency and consequently harming the community that, due to the seriousness of the pathologies found in the building, had to make the use of the school unfeasible and even the permanence of the users in the place. The observed pathological manifestations triggered problems in the city's budgetary planning, as the costs of a possible recovery after the completion of a construction end up being greater than if the work had been carried out with the due engineering parameters, based on technical standards and executed and delivered with the highest level of excellence and quality. It reinforces the importance of complying with construction standards and consequently the good quality and preservation of structures. Deficiency or lack of planning is one of the main causes for the occurrence of works with costs higher than estimated, improper execution, unsatisfactory quality standards, new buildings presenting repairs and renovations before the time stipulated by the norm, resulting in interventions of unfinished works, with extrapolated costs and deadlines. For this study, a qualitative bibliographic research and case study was carried out based on books, theses, and dissertations that address the main pathologies found in public works, absence or deficiency of planning, and management of works. It was concluded that management tools such as planning and control are fundamental and indispensable pieces and cannot be executed separately, since both, when well implemented in the work, contribute to guarantee lower costs, higher quality and shorter execution times.
