Abstract

With the large population growth and technological advances, the possibility of using efficient building systems in order to increase productivity, reduce wastes and attend a housing demand growing, become essential when the civil construction meet all the challenges in Brazil, like the housing deficit and the environmental preservation. Starting from all this challenges the wood frame system is a great solution, however, this system is not relevant in Brazilian civil construction. Facing this situation, this case study compare the wood frame system and the conventional way, researching the viability for the construction of a low standard single family house. To show the viability of the system in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, this study researched the acceptance of the wood frame system on users, non users and the civil construction workers, besides the motive of the chosen method. The results showed all the costs of wood frame system construction was lower than the conventional system, but by the lack of knowledge of this method and the lack of connection to supplier companies, the big part of the professionals don´t indicate this innovative system. While user and non users, generally, don´t consider the system as a first choice for the same reasons mentioned above. This studied system correspond to a important alternative to the civil construction market on the Dourados, but it need more information delivery to upgrade the use on the construction market.
