Abstract

The civil construction sector contributes with a large portion of Brazil’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which makes it important for the country’s development. However, it is observed that many works are still carried out without planning and without control in the execution, causing non-compliance with deadlines, as well as financial control. The existence of non-conformities in civil construction works is a matter of concern for the sector, as it compromises cost control, the quality of services and the increase in project deadlines. In order to improve the quality of works, there are some management tools and some techniques that have become important for the management of works, and, currently, the principles of lean construction or Lean Construction become part of the business culture.
