Análise do grau de maturidade em empresas de construção civil em Campina Grande - PB.

Abstract

The civil construction segment has always played a very important role in the Brazilian economy. Economic indicators look at the sector as if it functions as a thermometer of how the country's economy is going. In times of economic recession such as the one that Brazil has lived in recent years, with a decrease in the productivity of numerous productive sectors, the construction sector felt its effects as well, and companies were forced to readapt and use tools previously left aside to work around the crisis. Project management is a matter of paramount importance in a situation like this. A company that has an effective management of its projects ends up having more control of all its operations, being able to make more assertive predictions about what is to come, and to adapt when faced with unexpected situations. Well-planned planning, a good information system implemented, efficient communication, a well-defined scope, customer interaction, consistent budget and well-set deadlines are taken very seriously and are at the heart of organizations with good project management. In this train of thought this work analyzed 8 construction companies, 5 of them located in the city of Campina Grande, in Paraíba, and 3 of them in Petrolina, in Pernambuco. The study aimed to evaluate the levels of maturity in project management that these organizations are in that moment and relate to this, aspects that can be found in the departments studied in these companies, based on the answers that their managers gave to the presented questionnaire. Only one company is above the national average, and three of them are above the Northeast average. For all of them, recommendations have been made for attitudes that can be taken to increase the level of maturity in all of them.
