However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate civil engineering education became virtual and remote. In this context, many games traditionally played in person among students have undergone adaptations to the digital environment. The game "Parade of Trades" or "Parade Game" is used worldwide to teach the effects of variability in construction workflows in linear, dependent and sequential production systems. An adapted version of the game to the virtual environment was proposed by ASKM & Associates LLC and Navilean LLC. It was presented at the International Group for Lean Construction Congress (IGLC 2020). This version of the Parade Game was applied in three different high education institutions in Brazil and Chile. The game's effectiveness for teaching the variability concept was tested by administering a questionnaire before and after the game with the Production Planning and Control course's students in Civil Engineering. The main contribution of this study is the evaluation of learning brought by the game. Results show an increase of 20% in the correct answers in the post-game questionnaire, demonstrating that the students captured the game's main concepts.

Este artigo apresenta um método para identificação e comparação de práticas de sustentabilidade em canteiros de obras. A pesquisa original propõe uma lista de itens que facilitam a implementação da sustentabilidade em canteiros de obras, visando promover desenvolvimento tecnológico e disseminação dos aspectos da sustentabilidade voltada para a fase de execução dos empreendimentos. Identificou-se que existem seis principais temas que precisam serem mais investigados, sendo que este artigo se relaciona com o tema "Uso Racional da Água" nos canteiros de obras. No caso da água, por ser um recurso natural, a mesma tem sido fonte de grande preocupação para a sociedade, notando-se um crescimento de conscientização em geral, alcançando também os ambientes de trabalho. Os principais itens a serem avaliados sobre uso da água em atividades e processos dentro dos canteiros de obras abordam: captação de águas pluviais, captação de águas cinzas, reúso de águas pluviais e cinzas, condições das instalações tanto de águas pluviais e cinzas quanto de águas servidas, periodicidade de manutenção das instalações de águas servidas, tipo de abastecimento de água para o canteiro, palestras e orientação aos operários, e emprego de louças e metais sanitários economizadores nas instalações provisórias do canteiro visando a redução do consumo de água na fase de execução. O artigo utiliza o método de estudo de caso, composto por quatro obras, de diferentes tipologias e localizações geográficas, podendo ser avaliada quais as maiores dificuldades e melhores ocorrências de práticas sustentáveis em relação ao uso da água nos canteiros de obras.

The customization process of the housing product emerges as an important factor that can add value to the product by considering the requirements of consumers, and this is one of the principles covered by the Lean Construction. This study aims at identifying the offer of customized multilayered buildings in three cities of São Paulo (São Carlos, Mogi das Cruzes e São Paulo) and verifying the interference in the management of the construction site through the application of the Lean principles. Therefore, the methodology chosen was the case study, whose strategy was to apply a questionnaire to six construction companies. The final analysis shows that the companies have found a way of introducing the flexibility in their businesses by planning distinct layouts and different possibilities of alteration. However, only four of them allow the client to modify the internal appearance of the residences. Besides that, even with the restrict knowledge of the Lean concepts in the construction industry, it was observed that all the companies apply the basic tools of this philosophy, albeit in a superficial manner, and have reached significant improvements in the development of their work, enabling them to include the customization in their processes.

Como procedimento usual, utiliza-se de planilhas orçamentárias para levantamento de quantitativos, nem sempre compatibilizadas com o projeto e com o processo na construção. Tendo como base o cenário atual do setor da construção civil e adoção de novas tecnologias para a representação de projetos, o Building Information Modeling (BIM) vem assumindo um papel imprescindível na obtenção de produtos com maior nível de confiabilidade projetual. Este artigo tem como propósito comparar o processo de levantamento de quantitativos com base no método tradicional com a extração de informações de um modelo BIM de obras civis. O método de pesquisa usado para o desenvolvimento do artigo foi o estudo de caso da construção do Laboratório de Sustentabilidade e Segurança em Canteiros de Obras do Departamento de Engenharia Civil da UFSCar. Os projetos arquitetônico e estrutural foram concebidos em softwares 2D. Para fins de comparação, os projetos desta obra foram modelados para extração dos quantitativos a partir do BIM e posteriormente foram comparados com os quantitativos calculados manualmente. Foi utilizado para a modelagem o software Sketchup de propriedade da empresa Google. Os resultados indicaram que os quantitativos extraídos do BIM apresentam um alto grau de confiabilidade e que a grande maioria dos itens da planilha orçamentária pode ser extraída de forma automática por meio do modelo BIM. Isto sugere que o BIM é uma ferramenta que não apenas facilita as atividades de projeto, mas também contribui para outras atividades, como orçamento, eliminando os erros manuais comuns do levantamento de quantitativos e colaborando para a qualidade do orçamento.

Building maintenance is essential for ensuring the project's planned performance, safety, and functionality during the phase of use and occupation, which are ensured by the maintenance management. However, with the increasing complexity of buildings, the traditional maintenance management methods have become outdated. The lean mentality is shown as a viable alternative since it is possible to apply it in building maintenance through its principles and practices. The research strategy adopted was the case study carried out in a building maintenance company. A lean maintenance checklist was created, composed of 46 practices grouped in the five lean principles, which support identifying the level of lean maintenance deployed in the activities and processes of building maintenance management adopted by the company.

ICT can capture, store, process, and distribute information electronically and in large quantities. Thus, ICT can contribute to many construction documents, such as the Construction Daily Report (CDR), which has a considerable amount of data for processing and shared responsibility with several project team members. The research method used is the case study through a qualitative analysis of the information management software. The results demonstrated that its use enabled greater control of the production process, shared responsibility with the corporate sectors, and became a basis to minimize conflict between the stakeholders. The solutions incorporated in the program are presented to meet the principles of standardization, flow improvement, and increased transparency. Furthermore, the software collaborates with the solidity and quality of the enterprise's official document and their management information, bringing better storage reliability and greater agility in information retrieval.

This tool aims to integrate decisions of the safety and health at all stages of the development of the project. There is computational support for PtD with the use of virtual prototyping. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the technical viability of integrating the planning of collective protection systems (SPC) to the schedule using the PtD (virtual prototyping) concept in a BIM-4D model. The research approach was divided as follows: Definition of the chosen SPC design; Elaboration of the corresponding BIM library; Inclusion of SPC in the BIM-3D model; Planning of activities and simulation of model integrating activities related to temporary structures; Identification of opportunities for improvement in programming, especially with regard to site safety. As a result, the deficiencies were detected in programming, such as lack of guard-rails in perimeter of slabs that were being prepared for concreting. Finally, the incorporation the PtD concept is technically feasible and can help builders to anticipate risk and plan safety resource allocations in advance.
