Proposal of improvements in the management of construction companies: an international case study

Abstract: Civil construction has a major impact on local development. However, it can be seen that construction companies, in general, have poor management. This article aims to identify gaps in the management of construction companies and propose improvements. Initially, we carried out a literature review with the identification of problems in construction management, followed by a survey of construction companies in Brazil, India, Mexico, Ukraine, and Germany. Finally, we proposed improvements in the management of civil construction, based on the best practices of different countries.
