Ferramentas e tecnologias: análise de empresas projetistas da construção civil

Abstract

The Construction Industry projects could be very complex because involve numerous professionals and, in addition, produce hundreds related documents. The use of support tools and innovations in this industry, especially compared to other industries, is still very small. This work presents an assessment of the use of technological tools for the construction industry design companies, located in city of Curitiba and the metropolitan region. It attempted to establish a profile of companies from the empirical study of the variables associated with the main project steps. The research was based on a survey of 114 companies where data were collected. The data are related to 38 variables divided into 10 categories, and were analyzed based on descriptive statistics through frequency distribution graphs and Spearman correlation. Presented by different companies groups, the results show that the sector is still characterized by incipient use of technological tools available for development projects. The analysis also provided the visualization of the correlation between variables, demonstrating what tools are closer to each other in the processes applied within organizations. The context shows an important space to be occupied in the introduction of innovations in the sector, remaining to determine the factor for effective use of these support tools.
