Interface projeto/obra: estudo de caso na utilização de automação residencial

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interface between design and construction in the implementation of home automation systems, highlighting the importance of compatibility between technical designs and on-site execution. The research was developed through a case study in a high-end residence where the required methodology included the application of questionnaires to suppliers in the sector, seeking to understand the main difficulties, responsibilities, and integration practices among the agents involved, documentary analysis of the projects, monitoring of the execution through technical visits and photographic records, as well as direct observation of the installation stages of the automation system. The results showed the recurrence of communication failures between designers and executors, a lack of technical detail, and a lack of compatibility between electrical systems, shutdown, and automation, factors that led to rework and increased costs during construction. Based on these findings, the study proposes the adoption of tools that allow the verification of digital interferences between projects, optimizing the compatibility process and reducing conflicts in the execution phase. It is concluded that the effective integration between design and construction, combined with the technical training of the teams and efficient performance, constitutes an essential element for the improvement of professional practices and for the consolidation of home automation as a strategic technology in contemporary civil construction.
