• Abstract:

  Civil construction plays a central role in Brazil's socioeconomic structure, generating significant employment and circulation of resources. However, the sector is still strongly characterized by micro and small enterprises (MSEs) with poor management structures and a high degree of informality. This article analyzes the professionalization of these companies as an essential vector for sustainable growth and the strengthening of the national economy. Based on the author's practical experience in public and private works, the study discusses how administrative formalization, the adoption of modern management methods, and the application of technical standards contribute to increasing productivity, reducing waste, and consolidating a culture of efficiency and quality in the sector. The reflection proposes a new perspective on the role of the technical entrepreneur as an agent of social and economic transformation, connecting the development of micro and small enterprises to the expansion of Brazilian infrastructure and competitiveness.
