RESUMO

Building rehabilitation is a recurrent issue among the sectors interested in the great metropolis urban development in Brazil as well as in European and North American countries. Particularly in Brazil, the construction sector interest in the rehabilitation field has been rising due to both the increase in resource invested by the federal, state and municipal governments and the economic potentiality foreseen in the significant empty constructed stock in the country central urban areas. In spite of this context, the particularities regarding works production in building rehabilitation construction has not been studied from a systemic point of view. Very little is known about production dynamics in this kind of undertaking, which results mainly in construction works whose costs exceed the initial estimates. In an attempt to contribute to knowledge progress in the rehabilitation field, the cost involved in five apartment building rehabilitation projects were analyzed and the main production determining factors were identified. From the synthesis of the results reached through this analysis, some parameters usable as basis to draw up future budgets of rehabilitation works are proposed. From this activity, it may be concluded that one of the fundamental aspects to determine the total production cost related to rehabilitation works is the intervention level, related to the foreseen activities complexity, linked to the previous building condition. For this reason, for the undertaking success, it is crucial that a careful inspection be made before developing the project. It is hopeful that the conclusions presented in this work contribute to the economical and technological development of the building rehabilitation sector, as well as to the Brazilian metropolis urban centres improvement.
