Pontocivil: Desenvolvimento de Sistema de Orçamento para Construção Civil

Abstract

The use of software is an essential activity in nearly all sectors of modern society, as it enables task automation, reduces human errors, and enhances the quality of services. Civil construction is one of the sectors that benefits from software, especially in the budgeting stage, which is crucial for the planning and management of works. This study aimed at the analysis and development of a web application for civil work budgeting using SINAPI (National System of Costs and Indices Research) as a pricing foundation. The software seeks to overcome the problems of traditional methods, which are inaccurate, outdated and susceptible to human errors, and brings benefits such as agility, accuracy, economy and quality. The methodology follows the steps of Sommerville (2018): scope, requirements, design, modeling, documentation and implementation. The result was a software that facilitates the budgeting process, automates the calculation of costs, allows the customization of budgets and generates standardized reports. Tests were conducted, and user feedback was gathered to validate the software requirements, which underwent two iterations for incremental feature enhancements, including improvements in usability and visual adaptations. Considering user needs, a portion was addressed during development, while another segment was designated for future work, such as the implementation of intricate spreadsheet export functions.
