Estudo da viabilidade de construção de casas populares Utilizando estruturas metálicas no maranhão

Abstract

Despite the political-economic problems in which our country is passing by, there is still the need and the attempt to tackle housing deficit problem with many government incentives, for example ‘’Minha Casa, Minha Vida’’ program, among others. Thus, there is an accelerated growth in the number of low-income houses, that influence the increase of housing complexes constructions, some of them with more than 300 houses, which are built very quickly. However, due to tight profit margins, constructors that are responsible for this type of work are seeking new methods to provide them more accurate estimating cost, time and less waste materials thereby minimizing the error probability of project. In other words, savings, budget accuracy, and construction speed should be interconnected. This problem makes the search for solutions become even bigger. This paper shows a comparative budget for the construction of a hundred houses for low-income population to be built in the region North of Maranhão, especificaly in the capital São Luís, based on a widely construction system used in the region, such as conventional masonry, used in the. part of the small, medium and large works, as well as the Light Steel system frame, still used for this porpose, but with a tendency to grow. It will be elaborated the implementation of the projects, quantitative of each housing complex, considering that it will be executed a set for each system, in addition to collect the direct and indirect costs from two systems, in order to find out which one is most economically viable for these houses
