VANTAGENS EM ADOTAR O LIGHT STEEL FRAME: Comparativo entre o método construtivo Light Steel Frame e o método convencional de alvenaria

Abstract

The article presents a case study with a comparison between the constructive method Light Steel Frame and the Conventional method. In the search for improvements in the construction sector, the order to achieve the concept of sustainable construction, which consists in minimizing the use of natural resources, reduce waste of raw materials, reduce energy consumption and reduce of water, an industrialized construction method emerges as an alternative. The Light Steel Frame (LSF) ensures a process control, thus reducing wastes and gains productivity allied to high quality. The objective of the study is to provide information on the LSF constructive system, presenting the advantages and disadvantages in relation to the conventional method and, through a budget planning, to present the costs for the development of a popular residence.
