A indústria da Construção Civil possui um modo de operação semelhante ao das organizações virtuais, mas de forma não estruturada, deixando de proporcionar vantagens competitivas. Para tanto, o artigo propõe um Modelo de Requisitos e Componentes Técnicos, baseado na metodologia EKD (Enterprise Knwoledge Development), para auxiliar a formação e gerência de redes entre empresas da construção civil. Para a elaboração do modelo proposto, foi conduzida uma análise dos projetos internacionais mais relevantes no setor da construção além de estudo de casos contendo sete obras a fim de detectar seus objetivos e pontos falhos a serem reestruturados e adaptados para a indústria da construção civil brasileira. Não obstante, o modelo proposto baseou-se em uma adaptação das melhores práticas de uma arquitetura de referência para redes. Como resultado, a proposição viabiliza uma visão clara dos requisitos necessários, explora a necessidade de intensa comunicação e troca de informações, além de contribuir com pesquisas futuras no que tange a um futuro desenvolvimento de sistema de informação direcionado para este segmento econômico.

The Civil Construction industry possess na operational way similar to virtual organizations, but of form not structuralized, leaving to provide competitive advantages. For in such a way, the thesis will propose, established in analytical boarding of bibliographical research and exploratory studies of multiple cases, the evaluation of requirements for formation and management of collaborative networks among Civil Constructions companies. This evaluation results in the proposal of pilot project that directs the correct implementation of future software's for the civil construction sector, once that involves and solve important aspects as gaps detected in the most important international projects of this sector.

The Civil Construction industry constitutes an important sector for the national economy, demanding many inputs and being distinguished for the intensive activity that, consequently, generates wealth in a long and complex supplier's chain. The adopted way of operation is similar to the one of the virtual organizations, however still of not structuralized form, leaving, therefore, to provide many competitive advantages. For in such a way, the work considers the Technical Requirements and Components Model, based on EKD methodology (Enterprise Knowledge Development), to assist the formation and management of nets between companies of the civil construction. This model will provide, to the involved ones in the project, a clear vision of the necessary requirements for the construction of a future information system, besides exploring the necessity of intense communication and information exchange between partners. For the elaboration of the considered model, an analysis of the betters international projects developed of the construction will be lead, in order to detect its objectives and defective points to be reorganized and suitable for the Brazilian industry of civil construction. In the same way, the considered model will be based in an adaptation of a reference's architecture for nets of the civil construction.

Abstract. The civil construction industry has an operation way similar to virtual organizations, but in not structuralized form, leaving to provide competitive advantages. For in such a way, the paper will propose, through analytical research and case studies and based on EKD (Enterprise Knowledge Development) methodology, the Process Model to support the coordination of collaborative networks in the civil construction sector. This model will analyze each process and information flow contained in the business, that is, describes in a structuralized form the organizational activities, so that promoting better understanding of how the processes could be done to support companies of civil construction sector.
