This work presents a study about the coordination of building
designs and knowledge management.
In the coordination activities, the focus is on the coordination
management, related to the planning and to the administration of design
process, and on the technical coordination, regarding the integration and the
design development, all of them being promoted through the coordination
meetings, the compatibilization and the critical analysis.
The building design coordination has as its attribution to reconcile
and to integrate the knowledge of several specialties. The work introduces the
application of the knowledge management into the building design and
discusses the knowledge and competences needed for the coordination
activities and development of the building design. The knowledge management
is fundamental to reorganize the processes of generating, registering, diffusing
and usage of the organizational knowledge. Moreover, the information systems
and the computing resources have also been studied in this work as
instruments of this management.
To base adequately the theme of the dissertation, case studies
were accomplished in two big construction and real estate development
companies and in three building design offices. The case studies in the five
companies made it possible to characterize the practices adopted for the design
coordination, according to the alternatives used for its accomplishment (internal
or external work or outsorced, besides the consultancy in coordination).
A case study on knowledge management was also conducted in
one of the major companies researched, aiming at studying its applicability in
the building construction. The introduction of the concepts of knowledge
management in the culture and in the organizational strategy of the company,
as well as its reflex in the building design are presented.
In agreement to this approach, by introducing the discussion about
knowledge management, this work contributes to the process of development of
designs and to its coordination, enabling the accomplishment of designs with
better level of quality and constructability, to agree with the demands of the
modern projects.
