Construções modulares: um estudo de caso da empresa Tropic House sobre sustentabilidade, design e tecnologia

Abstract

The competitiveness of the civil construction market has imposed companies in the sector the constant need to adapt in the production of buildings. The technological transformation of construction processes is an important tool to obtain improvements in the quality of products and industrialization of construction methods, in addition to creating greater agility in the execution of buildings. This work presents, through a bibliographic survey based on academic data and a case study of the company Tropic House Tecnologia Imobiliária Ltda., information on Modular Construction as a sustainable alternative, its challenges, and differentials in the market. From the studies, the methods and the constructive steps were highlighted, as the market conditions of the model were evaluated. This is an efficient method of building, a constructive solution to improve cost predictability, reduce the environmental impact and provide agility in the production and delivery of the project, but which, however, requires specific feasibility, technological and logistical studies, which in addition, with the lack of technical knowledge of the model from the market and constructive point of view, perpetrates prejudices about the true effectiveness of the product, which shows there is still a long way to go for complete adoption and implementation of the constructive method in question
