Práctica empresarial como auxiliar de ingeniería en la empresa Monroy Gómez S.A.S para el seguimiento y control de la construcción del edificio multifamiliar “San Sebastián” ubicado en la cuidad de Pamplona, departamento de Norte de Santander.

Abstract

This project describes the business practice carried out as a construction resident assistant at the construction company Monroy Gómez SAS, in the development of the multi-family building "Altos de San Sebastián", located in Pamplona, Norte de Santander. The assistant engineer’s involvement included project monitoring, supervision and control, applying knowledge acquired during university training to help meet project quality, safety and efficiency standards. The main results include the development of a general construction schedule, developed with specialized tools such as MS Project, which allowed to optimize the planning of activities and predict estimated times for their completion. At the end of the practice, the project was 25 per cent advanced, meeting most of the planned activities, although slight delays were noted in some chapters due to initial climatic conditions and manpower constraints. In terms of returns, it was possible to accurately calculate the quantities of materials required, minimizing waste and optimizing resources to maintain project sustainability. Rigorous quality control measures were also implemented in the materials and construction processes, including verification of concrete resistance, which ensured compliance with technical specifications. Finally, a safety culture was promoted through regular training, contributing to the protection of workers and compliance with occupational safety regulations. This work highlights the importance of integrating technical knowledge, management tools and effective supervision in construction, contributing significantly to the success of the project.
