Abstract

The civil construction sector still marked by the use of construction systems with low productivity and waste of materials, among these systems is brick block masonry, one of the most used in the country. However, nowadays there is a huge demand for technologies with faster and more standardized execution, which will result in the optimization of processes and costs, like the construction system of gypsum plasterboard, which has gained space in the last decades because it is multivalence and for being composed of light and prefabricated materials. Thought its advantages, the method finds difficulties in diffusing itself, the users has some fear about the performance of the plates, caused by the lack of information. This search brings information about this system analyzing the cost benefit, advantages and disadvantages, installation methods, comparing its benefits to the more conventional method. Throught a case study using an architectural project of a single-family residence it was verified that the construction method with gypsum board shows to be more advantageous in costs and execution time when compared to the conventional masonry system.
