Análise comparativa e recomendações para utilização de painéis SIP em residências de alto padrão

Abstract

The construction industry, despite its constant demand, faces challenges related to outdated construction techniques in terms of productivity, standardization and efficient use of resources. Given this scenario, there is a significant opportunity to adopt more efficient technologies, capable of raising quality and efficiency standards. The use of Structural Insulated Panels (SIP), composed of plates for structural and sealing purposes, emerges as an alternative with the potential for substantial benefits, improving practicality and optimizing construction processes. In this context, this study proposed a comparative approach between the traditional method, which uses a reinforced concrete structure and ceramic block masonry, and the SIP method. The analysis was conducted using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) methodology, identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with each constructive approach. The results of this SWOT analysis clearly revealed the competitive advantages and disadvantages of the SIP method, highlighting its ability to accelerate construction processes, provide greater standardization, reduce resource waste and improve overall efficiency compared to conventional techniques. Based on these findings, a comprehensive list of recommendations was developed to enable widespread adoption of the SIP method in high-end homes. These recommendations address crucial issues, including marketing strategies to raise awareness among construction stakeholders, investments in workforce training, strategic partnerships to reduce the cost of SIP materials, and the exploration of opportunities arising from increased demand for high-quality homes. . This study not only compared the SIP method against conventional techniques, but also provided practical guidelines to overcome the challenges and drive widespread acceptance and implementation of this technology in high-end residential construction.
