RESUMO

This work addresses the concept of sustainability and its application in construction sites. It is suggested that sustainability is not a set of fixed rules but a series of practices which go on improving as the players in the productive chain meet its initial goals. Construction firms are portrayed as having a role in conveying changes in the productive chain of the construction industry. Although the main focus of sustainable initiatives in building has been in the architectural design phase, the building sitewhere construction firms have more leveragemay contribute significantly to reduce the environmental liabilities in the industry. The sustainable construction site may be actualized in different ways from the pursuing of strategic actions, which are classified as: responsible procurement; community relations; occupational health and safety management; quality management project; reduction of construction waste; solid waste management; land use and occupation (construction site design); water consumption; energy consumption and transportation; local vegetation and wildlife conservation; and education of partners. Assuming that sustainability will only be attained by means of strengthening the learning system of construction firms, three sorts of corporate culture instruments are analyzed: management systems (ISO 9001, PBQP-H, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18000, SA 8000), green building certifications (LEED and AQUA) and local programs (PGM and PRAS), from the standpoint of each instruments contributions to the development of sustainable construction sites. With the aim of contributing towards the constitution of a database for the development of this sector, I sketched a picture of the practices adopted in construction sites in the Federal District of Brazil, showing how gradual enhancements occur. The survey showed that there is in fact a learning process to be followed, starting with actions related to economic issues, from there on to the social, then educational and, lastly, environmental protection issues.
