- Desenvolvimento de uma plataforma de gestão da construçãoPublication . Oliveira, Luiz Henrique de Barros de; Alves, Paulo; Roberto, Rafael LiberatoThe work presents the development of a construction management platform for the company Abel Luís Nogueiro e Irmãos Lda (ALN), an SME based in Bragança, Portugal, specialized in civil construction. The motivation for this project arose from the obsolescence of the current web platform, created in collaboration with Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB) in 2013. This platform, built with technologies that are now outdated due to lack of maintenance, resulted in the loss of functionality and reduced efficiency operational. With the aim of modernizing the existing system and introducing new functionalities, development was conducted using agile methodologies, such as Scrum and Kanban. The process involved a detailed analysis of requirements, creation of mockups and implementation using Docker and Docker Compose. We opted for modern technologies, such as .Net Core (version 7) for building the API and ReactJS (version 18) for developing the platform interface. In addition to having good performance, it guarantees compatibility with current browsers, improves the user experience and contributes to the scalability necessary to meet the company’s future demands. Comparison with existing solutions on the market was crucial to ensure the resulting platform was relevant and effective for the construction industry. Development was guided by user stories and regular meetings to ensure alignment with ALN needs and to present results as they progressed. This significantly contributed to the successful development and deployment of the platform within the company. Currently, the platform offers features such as recording the presence of employees at construction sites, issuing invoices, launching consumables and services, as well as cost control and issuing budget execution for each project, allowing detailed monitoring of progress. The new platform not only met the initial requirements, but also provided a solid foundation for future expansions and improvements. Furthermore, this project serves as a model for other companies in the sector seeking to modernize their management systems. The development of this platform represents a significant advance for the company ALN, enabling more efficient and integrated management of its construction projects and establishing a clear path for continuous improvements and adaptation to market demands. Currently, the construction management platform is in the testing phase at ALN and is open to receiving new feedback. In conclusion, this work highlights the benefits of technological innovation, adaptation to market needs and the use of agile approaches to drive company growth and competitiveness in the construction sector.
