Uso de Steel Frame para construção de uma residência unifamiliar no litoral: estudo de caso

Abstract

The Light Steel Frame (LSF) construction system is a technique based on prefabricated light steel structures, used in other countries and that has been gaining ground in the Brazilian market. Although it has several advantages, such as speed of construction, design flexibility and sustainability, there are still few studies that evaluate its efficiency in Brazil. Thus, this work presents a case study on the use of the LSF system in the construction of a single-family residence, evaluating its advantages and challenges, with the objective of presenting the cost analysis with the help of the ABC curve and the analysis of The results showed that the use of the Gantt chart was efficient in the segregation of tasks, distribution of responsibilities, definition of delivery times and monitoring of the progress of the work, presenting a good productivity and a short work deadline. When talking about costs, it was possible to evaluate which items had the most influence on the total budget of the work, being able to observe ways to save even more. Therefore, it can be observed that the LSF system can be a promising alternative for the construction of single-family buildings in Brazil.
