Pasantía en proyectos de infraestructura civil enfocada en calculo de cantidades, análisis de costos y gestión de obra

Abstract

This internship took place within the field of civil infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on quantity surveying, cost analysis, and construction management, as key elements for the planning, execution, and control of construction projects. The internship was carried out at Potenza Inversiones S.A.S., where I participated in technical and administrative activities related to the supervision of civil works, budget preparation and review, unit price analysis, verification of work progress, and monitoring of construction progress. The methodology employed was based on direct involvement in construction processes, the calculation and verification of quantities executed, the preparation of technical reports, support in the coordination of operational personnel, and the application of current technical and safety regulations. Among the main results were a strengthening of the technical and financial control of projects, an optimization of resource utilization, and an improvement in decision-making related to construction management. Finally, the internship allowed me to apply the knowledge acquired during my academic training, strengthen my technical and administrative skills, and understand the importance of planning, control, and effective communication to ensure the viability, quality, and efficiency of civil infrastructure projects.
