Resumen

For years, construction processes and materials have evolved and are standardized to be more efficient. One of the most used materials in construction, specifically in walls, is brick. Whether concrete or clay, which includes the installation of water pipes, light and / or ventilation becoming one of the most laborious and noisy processes that generate more unusable waste when making the passes. Based on this problem, this research proposes a solution using a brick prototype for efficient construction in water, light and/or ventilation pipe installation issues. This alternative helps reduce labor, costs, sound pollution, element damage, waste, environmental impact and project delivery time, which is the most desired achievement of any contractor.
