O coordenador de projetos, um diagnóstico na cidade de Juiz de Fora, MG.

Abstract

Over the years recognition of the importance of coordination methods, and consequently their extension to the project coordinator, can be observed in the civil construction sector. This is linked to this fact by several factors, such as the increasing complexity of the enterprises, the multiplication of stakeholders, the increase in competitiveness in the sector and the consequent growth in demand for product quality. Added to these factors are the requirements related to the market, natural competition and the search for cost reduction to meet deadlines, as well as regulations, such as NBR 15.575 - Edificaciones Habitacionais - Performance, which aims to ensure minimum service to product performance and the growing demand for environmental certification seals such as LEED - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and AQUA - High Environmental Quality. Given this scenario, there is extensive production in the literature in order to adapt the managerial practices originating from the production industry to the context of project coordination in the sector. The hypothesis raised here is the existence of a dissonance to be verified between the practices guided by the literature and those observed in the market. This work aims to investigate, in the context of the city of Juiz de Fora, MG, the current practices in the companies of the sector in what concerns the coordination of projects and the performance of the figure of the project coordinator. For this, it is intended to confront the verified practices and establish parallels with the models and structures found in the literature and discussed in the present work. In order to achieve this objective, the methodology used is to carry out a bibliographic review, followed by case studies to be carried out with companies in the civil construction sector, with a cut-out by location. As results, it is expected to obtain the local scenario regarding the performance and understanding of the importance and validity of project coordination, with a special focus on the work of the project coordinator.
