Abstract:
The budgeting process used by small and mediumsized
construction companies usually
uses consumption indexes drawn from the Table of Price Compositions for Budgets (TCPO, by
the abbreviation in Portuguese) in their cost compositions. These indexes are generally based
on the characteristics of the construction companies operating in the South and Southeast
regions of Brazil, as well as, on the natural resources available in these regions not covering
construction techniques and the availability of labor, material and equipment from other
regions. In this scenario, differences between the budgeted costs and the actual consumption at
the construction site tend to appear in budgets elaborated in the other regions of the country.
This research aims to present an analysis of labor productivity in the framework service in slabs,
beams and pillars made of reinforced concrete comparing labor indexes collected in
constructions at the city of Campina Grande PB,
with those foreseen in TCPO 14. For the
study, two constructions in the superstructure phase were chosen, then data about performed
service and worked hours were collected making it possible to calculate the productivity and
perform an analysis of labor costs. With field values, a comparison was made with the cost
compositions present in TCPO 14 for the framework service. The results of this specific
analysis indicate that the service performed at the construction site has a well superior
productivity than those indicated in TCPO 14. It was concluded from this, that the companies
studied are not suffering from labor losses in these services. However, if there is a greater
investment in the measurement of productivity at the construction site, it is possible to obtain
data, which more accurately portrays the reality of the work and the company, based on the
indices of own labor, since a great variation was observed in relation to TCPO 14.
