Abstract
ABSTRACT Although civil construction causes serious environmental impacts, it has significant social and economic importance. Its sustainable development is one of the challenges that need to be overcome in order to avoid irreversible environmental damage to future generations. Thus, sustainability should be inserted into the whole life cycle of a building, especially during the construction stage, by managing sustainable projects at construction sites. Using this setting, this descriptive and qualitative study aims at identifying the perceptions about sustainable practice during the construction stage. It presents methodology based on interviews and personal observations at construction sites in Brazil, using nine case studies in Vitoria, Espirito Santo, Brazil. The results from the analyzed construction sites show that sustainable practices are incipient and still unsatisfactory. However, this study also shows that the scenario has changed because of requirements from an increasingly more demanding society which is aware of the environmental impacts caused by this activity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
