Coordenação técnica de projetos: caracterização e diretrizes para sua implementação

Abstract

the management of the design process has been studied taking into consideration the concepts of management, total quality control, lean construction and concurrent engineering together with some management tools such as planning techniques and process modeling. However, these approaches have restricted applications due to different causes such as lack of interest by the process agents, lack of guidelines and tools to relate the research results with the practice of the design process. This paper is a part of the doctoral research of the first author, developed with the purpose of appointing different ways to improve this context, through the characterization of the technical coordination and development of operational guidelines for its application. Methods: Three case studies were conducted in vertical buildings projects developed in different cities (Florianópolis, Cuiabá and Joinville). The first author participated in the projects as design coordinator. The research also was supported by documental study of the projects coordinated by the same author in the last five years. Findings: The technical coordination was characterized as a complement to the general management of the design process by the identification of their principal activities throughout the different stages of the process. The principal activities with developed guidelines are: modeling of the process, responsibilities definition, formulation of programs and scopes, analysis and compatibility of the designs, constructability analysis and design segmentation. Originality/value: the research establishes operational guidelines that can be applied in the design development, including the coordination at the initial stages. Concepts such as scope formulations, compatibility and constructability were integrated in these guidelines.
