Avaliação do processo de projeto de sistemas hidrossanitários prediais: estudo de caso em municípios cearenses

Abstract

It is still common in small businesses to develop projects in the traditional process, in which from the architectural design are proposed the structural elements and only then are incorporated the building systems. Although several works promote discussions dedicated to building design process, Few studies have been carried out to investigate how this process of project in building hydrosanitary systems. In this sense, the present work aimed to analyze the process of development of project of hydrosanitary systems in small works in the microregion of Sertões de Crateús. The case study method was used, where ten interviews were carried out with the agents involved in the process (designers, architects and builders). As results, it was possible to characterize the hydrosanitary design process, as well as to identify its relationship with the other disciplines. It was also possible to identify the main difficulties encountered in the development of the project in this type of building. The results pointed to the deficiencies in the design process of hydrosanitary systems resulting from fragmented, sequential and non- communication participation between the designers of the various specialties. Furthermore, problems involving the management of the design process of hydrosanitary systems were observed, which evidences the absence of defined procedures that help in the control of the process. Thus, the present work adds contributions to diagnose the way this process is happening, with the generation of premises that can be taken into account in the construction of solutions for best market practices..
