Abstract

Construction companies seek improvements for their management systems. In this context, there are activities that contribute to the improvement of construction processes. They are best practices that seek to eliminate factors that create interruptions in processes that occur at construction sites. The aim of this study is to develop a list of best practices for the masonry process by checking the frequency of implementation of these activities at construction sites. The adopted method consisted in unstructured interviews with the works managers, technical visits and checklist application to investigate the importance of the application of activities that work facilitation. As a result, a list of best practices was drafted. By analyzing this list was found that the neglect of most of these activities could result in the occurrence of making-do and consequently in rework. The application of checklist showed that the managers use best practices in their daily.
