The city of Palmas, state of Tocantins, presents a serious problem regarding its housing
situation, with a high relative inequality when compared to other regions of the country. The
present study presents a comparison between two constructive methods through an analysis of
direct costs for the construction of a Social Interest Housing in the region. The first method
studied was Structural Masonry, widely used for the construction of housing estates in the
region, and the second was the Light Steel Frame, still not often used, but has an expansive
potential. Based on a ready-made project in Structural Masonry, an adaptation was made for
the Light Steel Frame one. Then proceeded to the survey of quantities for the stages of
superstructure, coverage, coating, lining and painting, the creation of unitary compositions, and
finally, the survey of their direct costs. It was verified that despite the Light Steel Frame
presenting significant lower costs in the other stages, its superstructure stage still has a high
value compared to Structural Masonry, which makes it the most expensive option, costing
approximately 7,68% more.
