Avaliação da relevância da atuação do Engenheiro civil: um estudo de caso em obras de pequeno porte em Itaiçaba-CE

Abstract

The civil engineer has the function of supervising the technical aspects of a work and managing them in order to deliver a final product as well as satisfying both technical standards to the client, respecting the deadlines and budgets defined. Thus, the present study studies the understanding of the importance of this professional within the construction site in the city of Itaiçaba - CE, and analyzes the problems arising from the lack of this professional within the construction. To this end, we sought to analyze the residential works in the city of Itaiçaba - CE and the profile of the professionals who worked on them through visits made every week for three months. It was noticed that the Civil Engineer is seen with little importance by the construction workers and building owners in the Itaiçaba civil construction scene, and that he is sought only for the issue of construction documents, something that occurs in the visited works, only after inspection by the Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy - CREA. It can be seen through the study of the works visited that the presence of the civil engineer at the construction site could have avoided almost all the problems that arose during the execution of these constructions.
