In addition, the lack of inventory control is a common problem in civil construction and one of the main causes of delay in a work. Poor management is directly linked to the lack of control over project documents, tasks and reviews. Conducting this study is important because it offers some benefits for the works, such as cost reduction, problem prevention and inventory control, which consequently assists in meeting the schedule and budget. This study has as its general objective to improve and control processes related to stock, tasks, documents and project reviews within the civil construction, this with a nature of exploratory research, with a bibliographic design and with a perspective of quantitative data treatment, that is, with the collection of primary and secondary data, through a form applied to companies operating in the construction industry.
