Causas das inconformidades na execução de uma obra pública

Abstract

Delays in public construction projects represent a significant challenge to the effective management of public resources and directly impact the delivery of essential services within scheduled timelines, such as, in our case, education. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the resumption of a paralyzed public construction project, referring to the construction of a state school in the state of Paraná, focusing on the identification of the causes of delays, deadline extensions, and contractual adjustments throughout the execution. Through documentary analysis and measurement reports available on the transparency portal, it was possible to monitor the physical and financial development of the project and assess the impact of administrative and technical decisions on its progress. Indicators such as productivity, delay, cost overrun, and unit cost were also calculated based on real data from the construction. The results point to bureaucratic obstacles, failures in initial planning, and the need for technical adjustments as the main factors that influenced the addenda and the extension of the contractual term. The documentary analysis found a delay of 125% compared to the original planned schedule and a contractual increase of 21.81%, which could be even higher due to a possible second adjustment. The research highlights the importance of continuous inspection, timely formalization of contractual adjustments, and cost control as fundamental tools for efficiency in public construction project management.
