Abstract

The design for producing non-loadbearing masonry offers high potential for improving the design process in building construction. However, one of the problems worth mentioning is the lack of accurate definition of the range of its scope, causing doubts about what, when and how it should be prepared, developed and delivered by the designers. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyse the application of the scopes of the designs and services of vertical non-loadbearing masonry in building construction using case studies in the cities of Recife in Pernambuco State and the city of Sao Paulo in Brazil. The results obtained have shown that achieving the reference scope adopted – the Brazilian Association of Design Managers and Coordinators (AGESC) handbook – averaged 61% (builders) and 57% (designers), while the concordance with the scope averaged 45% (builders) and 56% (designers). Lastly, it gives guidelines on scope of how to use the AGESC handbook on design and services of vertical non-loadbearing masonry, describing potential uses and stressing the contributions to greater integration between expectations and resulting products, to more rationally facilitate the design and execution of non-loadbearing masonry in building construction.
