Sistemas construtivos em alvenaria convencional e Wood Frame: custos e manutenção

Abstract

With several construction methods inserted in the civil construction market, the cost of the same work can vary considerably depending on the chosen method. The conventional masonry system is the most frequently employed in the Brazilian construction process; however, this method presents a high waste of materials and ends up generating a large amount of waste. In the search for solutions that improve productivity, reduce costs and environmental impacts, the Wood Frame construction system stands out. It is a method that consists of wooden beams and closing panels, enabling a solution for the industrialization of construction and its rationalization. The possibility of using new materials and residential building technologies at a low cost encouraged this work, whose objective was to verify the advantages in terms of performance, costs, and maintenance of the systems. To do so, a bibliographical research was done. The result of the comparison showed a large advantage for the adoption of the Wood Frame system.
