Análise econômica entre os métodos construtivos: concreto armado e Light Steel Frame

Abstract

Aiming to reduce the housing deficit in the country, especially for the needy population that depends on housing developments, in recent years the government has made large investments and financial incentives for the population, heating up the civil construction market. Thus, it is of utmost importance to conduct research on the types of existing building systems, analyzing their main characteristics and relating their advantages and disadvantages, in order to optimize these new developments. In this context, this paper aims to conduct an economic feasibility study between the construction systems, Light Steel Frame (LSF) and reinforced concrete with conventional masonry in the execution of a residential building in the city of Guarapuava­PR. The base project, budget, execution time and economic viability were analyzed, in order to find which method had greater economic potential. It was observed that after the analysis of economic feasibility the Light Steel Frame (LSF) method was more feasible for the government and the conventional method more feasible for the investor.
