Performance gains with the quality, health, safety and environment (QHSE) management in works of retrofit

The recycling of materials is increasingly being used by the manufacturing industry. It is an attitude in response the growing charges that society has imposed the producer market. In the construction industry this demand is even more intense due to the large volumes of raw materials consumed for the execution of new buildings, the generation of waste during the construction process and finally the generation of wastes at the end of the useful life of the building. In this regard the adoption of the retrofit in buildings as a way to adapt them to new uses and thus prolong their life has grown considerably in the construction market. The implementation of the retrofit in buildings requires the use of specialized teams, adequately trained and modern construction techniques with emphasis on the highest possible utilization of materials already available in the building retrofit of the object. In this sense this work presents the implementation of the integrated quality management methodology, safety, environment and health in construction of buildings retrofit as a tool to achieve gains in performance in recycling the use of buildings.
