CBIC took the strategic agendas of civil construction to Palácio do Planalto in a meeting with the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic, held in Brasília on the afternoon of July 30, 2026. The meeting put on the table the sector's priorities for the coming years: expansion of Minha Casa, Minha Vida, advancement of the New PAC and modernization of regulatory agencies.
What CBIC brought to Planalto
Represented by President Eduardo Aroeira, CBIC presented to the federal government three strategic fronts with a direct impact on the volume of works and investments in the country:
- Expansion of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program — reduces the housing deficit and expands access to housing in all regions;
- Advancement of the New PAC — infrastructure program with investments in transport, housing, sanitation, energy and urban mobility;
- Efficiency of regulatory agencies — more agile processes to avoid delays in essential infrastructure services.
For the Civil House, the special secretary of the PAC, Roberto Garibe, participated in the meeting. Also present were the president of the CBIC Advisory Board, Renato Correia, vice-presidents Ely Wertheim and Clausens Duarte, as well as representatives from Abrainc. The presence of all these entities reinforces the articulation of the productive sector around the same diagnosis: for CBIC, the New PAC is a concrete opportunity to boost economic growth, increase the country's competitiveness, generate jobs and promote social inclusion.
Strategic guidelines: the impact on the civil construction chain
The three fronts have a direct effect on the construction production chain. Housing programs such as Minha Casa, Minha Vida support the demand for new developments and engineering projects throughout the national territory. The New PAC handles infrastructure works that require planning, earthmoving and BIM modeling — exactly the field in which Brazilian engineers, architects and designers work.
- More public works — increases demand for engineering projects and CAD/BIM software;
- Legal security — a predictable regulatory environment unlocks private investments;
- Employment and income — investments in infrastructure have a multiplier effect on the economy.
Civil construction is one of the largest generators of formal employment in the country, and each completed project has a direct impact on the income of thousands of families. Therefore, CBIC advocates that public policies prioritize legal security and predictability of investments: without clear rules, ready-made projects remain on the shelf and the sector loses competitiveness on the international stage.
The president of CBIC summarized the importance of institutional dialogue: "When we take the sector's strategic issues to government officials, we seek to make public policies more efficient, enable more works and, consequently, generate more jobs and income." For the entity, this is one of the most relevant social roles of civil construction in the development of Brazil. The meeting is part of CBIC's permanent institutional agenda with the federal government, aimed at improving public policies and building a safer, more efficient business environment that is favorable to the country's growth.
How to take advantage of opportunities
For those who work with projects, the moment calls for attention: the next notices and tenders linked to the New PAC and housing programs will require mastery of tools such as AutoCAD, Revit and Civil 3D. Professionals who master BIM modeling come out ahead in the competition for infrastructure works and social housing, which should gain pace with the expansion of public investments.
It is also worth monitoring the official channels of CBIC and public bodies to map out bids in advance and prepare competitive proposals.
