Análise comparativa entre os sistemas construtivos tradicional e modular a partir do contexto da indústria 4.0

Abstract

The civil construction industry, crucial to the Brazilian economy, faces significant challenges due to a lack of technological modernization. Currently, activities in this sector demonstrate low levels of productivity and efficiency throughout the process due to extensive reliance on manual labor, often associated with intense physical effort, which are still predominant characteristics of traditional construction. In this scenario, the industry actively seeks innovative methods to streamline and enhance its processes. The purpose extends beyond improving the performance and quality of buildings, encompassing the reduction of associated environmental impacts. In light of this, modular construction not only emerges as an alternative but also assumes a prominent role by positioning itself as a strategic pathway for transforming the construction industry into a contemporary and efficient entity. By embracing the modular approach, the sector can respond to current demands for efficiency and quality, and more significantly, align promptly with the vision of a future where construction becomes an agile, sustainable, and highly productive industry. Therefore, the scope of this work involves conducting a comparative analysis between traditional construction systems and off-site systems to determine which one effectively meets the current demands of the civil construction sector. The main objective is to evaluate which of these systems provides a significant advantage through its adoption and offers the best cost-benefit ratio. The intention is to identify ways to drive and enhance the civil construction market, ensuring that choices regarding construction methods are strategically aligned with the needs and challenges of the sector, thereby promoting its continuous evolution and success.
