Industrialization in Civil Construction in a Brazilian Context

Abstract

Industrialization in Construction (ICC) refers to the adoption of more efficient methods and innovative technologies in the construction process. In Brazil, the implementation of these technologies is still limited, although the country is already experiencing a development in the incorporation of industrialized technologies and practices, such as the use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and prefabricated elements. This work aims to identify gaps in the literature on CCI, related to the types of industrialization and barriers to the implementation of these technologies in Brazil through a Bibliographic Review using a search for works related to the topic, in which it was possible to find the primary sources of the research. Analysis of the information collected revealed that industrialization in Brazilian construction faces significant barriers, such as high costs, lack of standardization and inadequate funding. Tax reforms and housing policies are essential to promote the competitiveness of innovative technologies. Coordination between companies, research centers and universities is crucial to improving quality and efficiency. Overcoming these barriers requires coordinated action between the public and private sectors, with public policies, financial incentives and investments in education. With these efforts, industrialized construction can become a viable alternative, contributing to the sustainable development and modernization of the sector in Brazil.
