Análise de custos do sistema light steel frame para habitações de interesse social no estado do Ceará

Abstract

There is much discussion about which methodology would be most efficient in building HIS. In this context, it can be said that the cost factor is preponderant, mainly due to the great demand to be supplied and the low capital reserve of the possible buyers. In order to achieve a minimum standard of comfort at an affordable cost, it is essential that the construction method is efficient, i.e., that as little waste as possible occurs, in addition to affordable raw material costs. The Light Steel Frame (LSF) method achieves a high level of rationalization and can be built in a short period of time. In contrast, the LSF method presents relatively high costs for the Brazilian reality, taking into account that it is an industrialized construction method, it is important that the internal demand exists for the infrastructure to be established. In this research, the objective is to perform a comparative analysis between a low standard construction in traditional masonry and construction using the LSF methodology, in addition to comparing the direct costs, it is also intended to understand which are the elements that make it difficult to implement the LSF as an alternative to constructing HIS in the state of Ceará. Aiming to have a deeper understanding of the obstacles to the implementation of such methodology, we sought to take a look at the locations where the LSF methodology has taken hold, and what are the main contextual differences of these realities in relation to the reality of Ceará. Finally, it is hoped that this work may contribute to future research on the logistics and applicability of industrialized construction methodologies in Ceará.
