Abstract

The work deals with the use of the material "Blocom" – a monolithic block in mortar board reinforced with EPS filling – as a sealing element in homes. The research involved a bibliographic review in several sources and technical visits to a company in the Municipality of Goiânia, which uses this method with the objective of analyzing the construction stages and comparing the costs with the traditional method of sealing masonry with ceramic blocks. The analysis showed that the use of the "Blocom" presented a lower cost per square meter in relation to the traditional system, presenting 13% lower for the laying of ceramic tiles and 15.38% for the finishing in paint. In addition to the reduced cost, the "Block" method offers other advantages such as the elimination of the need for mortar coatings, greater resistance, lower structural weight, ease of passage of pipes, less generation of debris, faster assembly, does not require specialized labor and does not require the use of.
