Estudo de caso do desenvolvimento de uma construção modular off-site aplicada na Creche Cria Lagoa Nova – Piranhas

Abstract

In contrast to the traditional methods that make Brazilian construction difficult, innovations are emerging in the market that are increasingly changing this sector. Depending on the specific needs of each project, it becomes possible to choose and combine effective techniques to optimize processes, minimizing deadlines. Among these innovations, we highlight modular construction, which is based on prefabricated construction or dry construction, which provides better results in terms of quality and speed of assembly, as well as mitigating the creation of waste and waste of materials. Prefabricated construction makes it possible to develop an assembly line and replicate it in different contexts and adversities, due to the fact that this type of construction methodology is off-site, that is, outside the construction site. Based on this context, this research aims to characterize the implementation of a modular construction project, highlighting its elements and implementation phases. A case study was carried out seeking to analyze technical factors, highlighting their main advantages. Data collection was carried out using information provided by a company that develops modular works. The results obtained demonstrate a high potential for developing the modular method, bringing with it a short execution time and a good quality of the final product.
