The 45th Ordinary Meeting of the CBIC Legal Council (CONJUR) will bring together experts in Brasília on August 18th to discuss legal security, labor relations and the main challenges of the Brazilian real estate market. The in-person meeting, from 10am to 4pm, at the headquarters of the Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry, will have a technical agenda aimed at construction companies, developers and engineering professionals. It will be led by the president of CONJUR, Felipe Melazzo.
What CONJUR/CBIC will discuss at the 45th Ordinary Meeting
The meeting begins with one of the most sensitive topics in the sector: the current challenges of labor relations in the construction industry. The presentation will be made by David Fratel, president of the CBIC Labor Relations Committee (CPRT), who will address the legal aspects and practical impacts for companies and workers.
- Technical Note nº 01/2026 from FNDI on house incorporation, with Diana Nacur (Sinduscon-MG) and Victor Miranda (Abrainc)
- Industrialization of civil construction, with Guilherme Freitas (Abrainc), addressing regulatory challenges and public policies
- Legal security as a condition for the modernization of the sector
- Debate on NR-1, the growth of labor complaints and the impacts of free justice
- Judicial review of fines, including in cases of affected assets, with Marcelo Estebanez (Sinduscon-RO)
The agenda reflects a time when construction companies and developers need predictability to plan investments. Unresolved labor and regulatory issues halt projects, increase costs and deprive funding. Therefore, CONJUR's agenda is not only of interest to legal departments, but also to technical and engineering managers who depend on secure contracts to carry out works.
STJ repetitive themes and impacts on the real estate market
In the afternoon, members of the Legal Council will analyze Repetitive Topics from the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) that directly affect the real estate market. The discussion will be led by Carolina Botelho, from Ademi-AM. Among the highlights is Topic 1,420, which deals with the legislation applicable to the resolution of a purchase and sale contract with a fiduciary alienation pact not registered with a notary.
Another relevant point is Topic 1,348, related to the withdrawal of the buyer who has never been in default and the legislation applicable to the case. Repetitive decisions by the STJ create precedents that standardize the understanding of courts across the country, reducing uncertainty in real estate contracts and facilitating the actions of developers and construction companies.
- Topic 1,420: resolution of contract with unregistered fiduciary alienation
- Topic 1,348: buyer’s withdrawal without delay and applicable legislation
- TCU precedents on price feasibility in tenders for engineering works and services, with Odilon Cavallari (TCU minister advisor) and Tony Robson Silva (Sinduscon-RN)
For engineers working in public works, the debate about price feasibility is especially relevant: understanding how the TCU evaluates budgets avoids rework, cancellation of bids and financial losses in contracts with public authorities.
Legal security and the future of civil construction
Legal security is the guiding principle of the entire program of the 45th Ordinary Meeting. Without clear and stable rules, the construction sector is unable to attract capital, hire technology or plan long-term works. The discussion about industrialization, for example, depends on a regulatory environment that encourages investment in new ways of building.
The debates on labor relations and NR-1 also show the CBIC's concern with balancing worker protection with the viability of companies. Updating standards must be accompanied by predictability so that construction sites remain productive and safe. Those who follow regulatory changes can anticipate and avoid liabilities.
For managers and professionals who want to stay up to date, following the sector's legal agenda is as important as mastering technical tools. Budgeting, project and management software also depends on well-structured contracts to generate results.
