DRYWALL: análise de custos e viabilidade das vedações internas de um edifício residencial na cidade de Varginha/MG

Abstract

Faced with population growth, civil construction companies needed to increase productivity to keep up with demand and reduce waste in construction, above all ensuring agility and a high standard of quality in their final product. That said, the construction industry has been looking for improvements in these aspects through the evolution of technology, seeking construction methods that are even more efficient, so that they can replace conventional masonry. With that, drywall was created, but this method is still little accepted by both builders and customers. And with the aim of breaking down prejudice and bringing technical knowledge to professionals in the area and the general public, a comparative study was carried out between drywall and conventional masonry used in internal seals, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each system, also listing the costs per square meter, through a case study based on a project located in the city of Varginha/MG, where the internal sealing system made with plasterboard sheets will be used. The study was carried out based on the TCPO composition tables (Budget Price Composition Tables), listing all the materials and quantities needed according to each construction method. And although drywall has had a 17.7% increase in value compared to conventional masonry, this method has numerous other advantages that are worth mentioning to be rethought before making a decision.
