Goal:The main objective of this study is to analyze the benefits and the critical success factors (CSF) to use of Earned Value Management (EVM) in the construction projects. Design / Methodology / Approach: The research methodology was quantitative approach with statistical analysis of questionnaire with 106 answered and validated using the Cronbach's alpha and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin. Results: The construction companies identified the benefits and CSF in the use of EVM. The observed benefits were: achieving project cost, the definition of scope and schedule, anticipating project and project communication. The observed CSF were: team training, project management maturity, top management support, the need of pre-defined procedures, and the use of appropriate software. Limitations of the investigation:The sample of research was composed exclusively of Brazilian construction managers. Practical implications: Monitoring construction projects using EVM for construction companies. Originality / Value: The EVM is widely used for project management. However, there are few studies on its use in the construction industry.
Due to the economic crisis, the Brazilian construction companies faced the challenge of remaining competitive in the market, therefore they need to be restructured. Construction projects are intrinsically risky because it changes the environment both physically and socially. Given this complexity and the great exposure to risk, this research aims to evaluate the market risks in construction projects through a field research, analyzing the perception and judgment of professionals in the area. The data analysis was performed by a multivariate index based on the statistical technique Factor Analysis that can be ordered by risk factors by degree of importance. It was possible to confirm the degree of correlation between the subgroups of risk factors and to establish a ranking of the degree of their importance, and the first one considered more relevant was the risk of reducing the quality of the workforce. It was also identified the low maturity in risk management in organizations, even though in civil works a thorough risk analysis is required.
Este artigo objetiva aprofundar a análise sobre os elementos de risco presentes em empreendimentos da construção civil, identificando, detalhando, avaliando e classificando os eventos mais relevantes presentes nesse ambiente complexo e dinâmico. A questão central destacada no estudo considera a presença de elementos de risco e seus relativos impactos em projetos de construção, sobretudo nos aspectos relacionados ao atendimento de cronogramas e orçamentos. Para responder ao problema citado, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa exploratória do tipo Survey junto a uma amostragem não probabilística, caracterizada por 105 engenheiros e profissionais que atuam com temas correlatos à gestão de riscos no setor de construção civil brasileira, complementada por uma análise estatística multivariada, sob a estrutura da análise fatorial exploratória. Os resultados apontam para uma distribuição e classificação dos elementos observados, onde são configurados 205 eventos de risco, devidamente classificados por categorias e fatores. Esse detalhamento possibilita auxiliar futuras abordagens que necessitem, por meio do nível de importância, dimensionar e mensurar, de forma mais detalhada, potenciais aspectos de risco presentes em projetos destinados a empreendimentos construtivos.
A construção civil tem um grande impacto no desenvolvimento local. Entretanto verifica-se que as empresas de construção apresentam, em geral, gestão deficiente. Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar as lacunas na gestão de empresas da construção civil e propor melhorias. Inicialmente, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura com a identificação dos problemas na gestão da construção; em seguida, foi realizada uma pesquisa em empresas de construção civil do Brasil, Índia, México, Ucrânia e Alemanha. Finalmente, foram propostas melhorias na gestão da construção civil, baseadas nas melhores práticas de diferentes países.
