Uso do programa microsoft project: 2016 como uma ferramenta de orçamento, planejamento e controle de uma residência unifamiliar: estudo de caso na cidade de Ampére - PR

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis aimed to evaluate the application of Microsoft Project 2016 as a supporting tool for budgeting, planning, and controlling the execution of a single-family housing project. The study was based on a real case in the city of Ampére – PR, involving the construction of a residence with a total area of 81.29 m². Initially, the work breakdown structure (WBS) and the physical-financial schedule were developed, integrating the construction phases with their respective costs, timelines, and resources. The activities were organized in the software and linked to quantity takeoffs and cost compositions from the SINAPI database. Project monitoring was conducted through site diaries, photographic records, spreadsheet entries, and continuous updates in Microsoft Project. At the end of the execution, the total construction cost was 24.66% lower than the estimated budget, mainly due to material reuse, labor costs below SINAPI benchmarks, advantageous negotiations with local suppliers, and possible inconsistencies in the complete recording of expenses. The actual construction period was only 7% longer than initially planned. The results indicate that, even in small-scale projects, Microsoft Project enhances organization, predictability, and control, proving to be a viable tool for integrated time and cost management in civil construction.
