Construcción de viviendas bio-sostenibles a partir de contenedores reutilizados y transformados

Resumen

The construction industry in Colombia is one of the fields of greatest development where it has established itself as a sector of great growth in the economy. It has different kinds of methodologies, ranging from traditional to large metal structures in reinforced concrete; The project aims to show another alternative to the one we are currently accustomed to seeing, placing itself in the field of prefabricated construction using land and sea transport containers with which it is intended to save time, money and decrease the RCD of construction. The state of the art of the project is presented in which the current situation in the field of construction and in the transport of cargo with containers is reviewed, the background of similar projects such as that of the University of Pereira with the construction of residences is reviewed students with containers, the costs in traditional construction and in prefabricated construction, the number of containers circulating around the world, the definitions and technical context of the project, the national and international legal basis on which construction with alternative materials is based, in addition to the environmental laws that support sustainable construction, the entities involved, such as large construction companies; Argos, Prodesa, Colliers, the transport companies of the most important ports in the country, such as Buenaventura, Barranquilla, Cartagena and Tumaco. Also, the causes that generate this commercial opportunity are exposed, such as the waste of the containers in the large maritime terminals and the little use that they have when they are stored after their useful life as cargo transport has ended, including the advantages that they have furniture construction with containers, "green" construction. Construction alternatives such as country houses, restaurants, swimming pools, warehouses, offices among other uses. Likewise, a market study was carried out, which was reviewed by experts in the field of prefabricated construction and also in the economic field of the project, which will offer the product, the difficulties and advantages in carrying out the project.
