Abstract(s)
Este trabalho de investigação aborda os desafios e as transformações contemporâneas no
setor da construção civil, focando-se na integração de inovação tecnológica, sustentabilidade e
práticas de gestão. A construção civil, sendo uma das indústrias mais tradicionais e complexas,
enfrenta obstáculos históricos relacionados com atrasos, custos excedidos, baixa produtividade e
impactos ambientais negativos. A partir de uma análise crítica da literatura e do estado da arte, este
estudo explora as mudanças em três dimensões fundamentais: planeamento, gestão e execução de
projetos.
No planeamento, observa-se uma aposta cada vez maior em ferramentas digitais e métodos
colaborativos que permitem integrar diferentes intervenientes, aumentar a eficiência dos processos e
tornar os prazos de execução mais realistas e controláveis. Na gestão, a digitalização e o uso de
plataformas especializadas revelam-se essenciais para otimizar a coordenação entre stakeholders, a
tomada de decisão e o controlo de custos. Quanto à execução, a aplicação de tecnologias emergentes,
como drones, sensores IoT e prefabricação modular, tem permitido mitigar riscos operacionais,
aumentar a segurança e reduzir desperdícios.
Ao mesmo tempo, a sustentabilidade afirma-se como uma exigência cada vez mais presente,
incentivando o uso de materiais amigos do ambiente, a aplicação de princípios de economia circular e
a valorização de certificações ambientais, embora ainda exista uma diferença notória entre aquilo que
é defendido teoricamente e o que se verifica na prática. Este estudo identifica ainda limitações do
setor, como a resistência à mudança e a escassez de mão de obra qualificada, que dificultam a
implementação integral das boas práticas.
Este trabalho propõe reflexões para a formação profissional, enfatizando a necessidade de
capacitação multidisciplinar e digital. Apresenta recomendações para acelerar a transição do setor
para modelos mais inovadores e sustentáveis, reconhecendo as tensões entre planeamento ideal e
execução real, e destacando a importância de um equilíbrio entre tradição e inovação.
This research addresses the contemporary challenges and transformations in the construction sector, focusing on the integration of technological innovation, sustainability, and management practices. As one of the most traditional and complex industries, construction continues to face structural obstacles such as delays, cost overruns, low productivity, and negative environmental impacts. Based on a critical review of the literature and state of the art, this study explores changes across three key dimensions: planning, project management, and execution. In planning, the growing use of digital tools and collaborative methods enables better stakeholder integration, enhances process efficiency, and allows for more realistic and controllable timelines. In management, digitalization and specialized platforms prove essential to optimize coordination among stakeholders, support decision-making, and strengthen cost control. In execution, emerging technologies such as drones, IoT sensors, and modular prefabrication are helping mitigate operational risks, improve safety, and reduce waste. At the same time, sustainability is becoming an increasingly pressing demand, encouraging the adoption of eco-friendly materials, circular economy principles, and environmental certifications, although a significant gap remains between theoretical discourse and practical implementation. The study also highlights persistent sectoral limitations, including resistance to change and a shortage of qualified labor, which hinder the full adoption of best practices. Finally, this work proposes reflections for professional training, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary and digital skills. It presents recommendations to accelerate the transition toward more innovative and sustainable models, acknowledging the tensions between ideal planning and real execution, and underlining the importance of balancing tradition and innovation in the construction industry.
