Abstract:
Civil construction is an engineering production activity that is closely related to
the cost of the work. The study in question was characterized in favor of
controlling the cost of public works, enabling the identification of problems
during activities developed in public works, which have arisen repeatedly due to
poor planning or poor practice of the bidding process. This paper intends to
introduce concepts about the phases of public works, analyze the cost factors
that influence measurements, and expose where the lack of planning influences
the paralysis of the work. This article was based on bibliographic studies related
to cost engineering, articles, and technical texts related to civil construction.The
analysis performed throughout the work demonstrates the modalities, values,
and phases of public works, carried out before the bidding process, based on
the Bidding and Administrative Contracts Law, no. 14,133, April 1, 2021 andBidding and Administrative Contracts Law, no. 8,666, June 21, 1993. It is
concluded that the main reason for the paralysis of public works occurs due to
the lack of supervision in each stage of this process.
