Segmentação dos projetos de edificações para seu planejamento, coordenação e controle

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the segmentation of the building designs in stages or activities as a tool of the technical coordination in order to carry out the planning, coordination and the control of the activities related to the building design development. This work is part of the doctoral research of the first author. Methods: Three case studies were conducted in vertical building project designs. In two of them the segmentation was analyzed and observed and in the third was applied to the planning of the different design specialties. The paper also reviews the conditions that introduce variability to the process and the level of detail necessary to carry out the segmentation. Findings: The segmentation of designs is defined into the context of the projects observed and is verified that its variability can be influenced by the following factors: organizational requirements of the companies, work proceedings of the designers, design complexity and the defined construction systems. Originality/value: It introduces a new aspect of the design management, that of segmentation. Its application in the particular conditions of each project must bring transparency to the process. The segmentation also must be related to the process planning and with the tools used for this purpose.
