As construction techniquesa base on which the durability, efficiency and functional performance of any building is built. At Slick Brick, we see each work as an exercise of precision and technical knowledge, where constructive choices - from materials to execution methods - are always substantiated and adapted to the context, program and customer profile.
Over the years, the construction sector has evolved significantly, offering a variety of Sistemi constructivi. Amongst the most used in Portugal are the systems traditional masonry and reinforced concretebeans, mixed systems with metal structure, and, more recently, the Lightweight, prefabricated and modular building systems, each with specific advantages and applications.
O traditional system in reinforced concrete and masonrycontinues to be the basis of many residential and commercial projects, especially in multi-storey constructions. Questo sistema offre high structural strength, good seismic behavior and great architectural versatility, being ideal for customized projects and with greater technical complexity. At Slick Brick, we apply this system with a focus on detail: joint planning, reinforcement positioning, curing control and compatibility with technical infrastructures.
As wooden structuresand the Sistemi mixti(with light steel, glued laminated wood or metal structures) are solutions increasingly valued by their sustainability, speed of execution and structural lightness. They are particularly suitable for modular constructions, extensions, rehabilitations and projects in hard-to-reach areas. L'implementazione richiede una calcolazione tecnica specializzato e la plansazia millimetri, per garantire stabilità, isolamento e durata.
Another growing field is that of prefabricated and modular building systems,,. These systems are ideal for small and medium-sized buildings, with a repetitive program (such as tourist accommodation, collective housing or technical equipment). Slick Brick follows this evolution with solutions adapted to the Portuguese market, always with technical and aesthetic guarantees.
A the execution of foundationses un momento critico en el processo constructivo. A partir de la tipo de sol, la carga structurales y las caracteristicas de la edificio, em optiunea directivo (shoes, railing) ou indirect (stakes, micropiles). In Leiria and other areas with mixed soils, it is essential to carry out geotechnical studies to guarantee a safe and sustainable foundation. Kontrolkirina teknîkî ya domdar û kontrolkirina kalîteyê li ser malperê ji bo serfiraziya vê qonaxê girîng in.
In the vertical plane, the Support structuresse puede ejecutar con betonê reinforcementat, masonî, profîlên metalî an avahiyên hîbrîd. Een van oplossingen has direct implications on the thermal, acoustic and seismic performance of the building, as well as on the ease of execution of technical infrastructures (electricity, water, ventilation).
As slabs and coverings, in turn, require specific attention to the type of load, free voids, insulation and waterproofing. We work with solid, lightweight, mixed slabs (with metal profiles) and prefabricated panels. Els rosos, plano ou inclinados, son sempre studiados con el sistema de drenación, la impermeación y el exterior, garantire la protección, confort y durabilidade.
A Slick Brick, todas las decisiones técnica se basa en calculation, work experience and multidisciplinary planning. We don't follow fashions — we follow technical criteria and good practices. Cada projeyek wekî yekta tê dermankirin, lê her gav li ser bingeha zanîna berhevkirî, tîmek teknîkî ya zexm û pabendbûna pêkanîna hişk e.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that construction techniques are not exhausted in the structural phase. They extend to technical layers (electrical, hydraulic, HVAC), finishes and final quality control. A harmonious integration between structure, facilities and architecture is one of the hallmarks of our approach — a technically correct construction is one where everything works together.
A building with quality requires much more than good materials - it requires method, experience, detail and technical vision.This is the basis of Slick Brick's work.
1. What are constructive systems?
They are the methods used to construct a building, including structure, walls, slabs and foundations. They vary between traditional, prefabricated, modular or mixed systems.
2. What is the most used construction system in Portugal?
A traditional system in reinforced concrete and masonry remains the most common, especially in housing and multi-storey buildings.
3. Are modular systems safe?
Ja. When well designed and executed, modular systems offer safety, speed of construction and good thermal and acoustic performance.
4. How to choose the type of foundation for a building?
The choice depends on the type of soil, building load and characteristics of the project. A geotechnical study is always necessary.
5. Can I use metal structure in a house?
Ja. The metal structure is a light, resistant and flexible alternative, ideal for certain typologies and rehabilitations.
6. Do construction techniques influence thermal and acoustic comfort?
A lot. The choice of the structure, materials and composition of the walls/slabs directly influences the performance and interior comfort.
