RESUMO:
The prefabricated construction has become an important area over the last decade, not only for its agility, but also for its adherence to the Lean Construction philosophy, that promotes the reduction of the volume of waste in building and contributes to a lower environmental impact. The search for a more efficient and innovative prefabricated construction method has promoted the development of several different models, but all of them have advantages and disadvantages, mainly related to transportation, machinery and labor, when applied to small buildings. This paper aims to identify, through a systematic review, the main and most current models of prefabricated construction, identify the gaps on the operationalization of small constructions processes and propose new research to solve the problems of prefabricated construction. The lack of versatile prefabricated models that help to improve the efficiency on the filling stage in small constructions and that allows the reuse of materials is a gap existing processes that have yet to be explored.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: lean construction, prefabrication, small building.
