Comparative research of single-family housing construction systems by construction cost using structural wood and other materialityPonencias de CongresosThe wood construction massification in Chile has been considered in the last years as a strategic axis in forestry, and environmental policies, considering that this is a forestry country, the remarkable environmental contribution potential the use of this material has, and the necessity of reducing the housing deficit. In order to evaluate the development feasibility of a massive housing wood construction, with higher quality standards than the ones traditionally used, a comparative analysis is conducted in terms of construction costs based on 4 constructive systems: wood framing, post and beam construction system, galvanized steel, and confined masonry. The wood frame system is presented as the most competitive mainly due the wall, and roofing final cost, but also in the carcass work final cost; it is also more competitive in the construction final cost, but here the gasps are reduced. All evaluated systems have budgets that may be eligible for state subsidies. Among the keys to improve competitivity in wood construction is the diversification of lengths, and dimensions in structural products supply. In relation to the post and beam system, traditionally associated to higher value, and size, it is concluded that is possible to develop delimited footage projects, with low cost, which also allows a greater use of the system advantages in terms of the possibility to modify the house internal distribution. Estudio comparativo de costos de construcción de una vivienda unifamiliar, según sistemas constructivosLibroEl presente documento realizó una evaluación de costos de distintos sistemas constructivos, con un enfoque en la madera y, especialmente, en la alternativa de utilizar pino radiata de calidad estructural. Por ello, el estudio se propuso como objetivo determinar la brecha entre diferentes sistemas constructivos y sus materialidades predominantes. El desarrollo de este estudio se apoya en la bibliografía existente, en manuales de costos, recomendaciones de diseño, pero fundamentalmente, en la experiencia profesional del autor del estudio, en el ejercicio de su profesión y como pyme del rubro construcción.
