Comparativo de custo de uma casa residencial no sistema light steel frame com o sistema de alvenaria convencional de bloco cerâmico

Abstract

This article addresses the Light Steel Frame (LSF) Construction System as an innovation in the civil construction industry in Brazil, being considered an innovative solution to meet the growing demand for housing due to population increase. LSF is considered a dry construction method and uses industrialized components in building, promoting more precise control of the construction process and reducing inaccuracies in procedures, materials, and services. This article will also cover the LSF System, Engineered and Stick Methods, in the stages of the construction process, and primarily focus on a cost comparison of this system with the conventional masonry system using ceramic blocks. The main advantages of the LSF System include budget accuracy, reduced labor, and sustainability; however, its disadvantages are high cost, need for specialized labor, and low popularity.
