Evaluation of Improvements in the Construction Production Process with the Implementation of Sustainability Indicators

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the adoption of sustainability indicators in civil construction, highlighting advantages and challenges.   Theoretical Framework: In this topic, the main concepts and theories that underlie the research are presented. The environmental legislation pertaining to civil construction and the environmental indicators of the construction site already studied by other authors are highlighted.   Method: The implementation of this Sustainability Program aimed to carry out activities that would help maintain the balance of the construction of the enterprise with the maintenance of natural resources, in addition to bringing employees closer to the socio-environmental theme.   Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that it is possible to implement an environmental sustainability program in a construction site and achieve the goals of the indicators.   Research Implications: Investigating the feasibility of other sustainability certifications and standards can broaden the scope of application of sustainable practices in civil construction.   Originality/Value: This study allowed the systematic analysis of the data, showing that sustainable technology was effectively applied in the enterprise. In addition, he highlighted the positive social and environmental impact on employees, reinforcing the idea that it is feasible to build while preserving natural resources for future generations.
