Índices de produtividade da mão de obra na construção civil em obras residenciais multifamiliares

Abstract

The construction industry plays an essential role in the economic progress of a country, fostering job creation and promoting the development of several sectors of the economy. Productivity is a crucial factor that affects both the efficiency of this sector and the competitiveness of companies. However, considerable challenges persist in relation to low productivity and variations in performance indexes. In view of this, the general objective of this study is to analyze the productivity indexes of construction sites located in the city of Teresina, in the state of Piauí. To achieve this purpose, a case study was carried out in two construction sites in the city, where the services of ceramic masonry, structural masonry, plastering, ceramic coating and grouting were analyzed. The methodology used made it possible to obtain productivity indexes through the Unitary Production Ratio (UPR) method. The results were compared with references available in the literature and budget manuals SINAPI and SEINFRA-CE, in addition to identifying the factors that contribute to the variations in the indexes obtained. This research can contribute to more efficient management of deadlines, service costs and process optimization in works carried out by local agents and those from other regions of the country, who work in civil construction, as it presents a characterization closer to reality, in addition to expanding empirical knowledge in the construction management literature.
