Abstract Bill Taylor The construction boom in Brazil is creating raw materials, labor and management shortages. This is thwarting the Brazilian government’s efforts to apply available billions of reais in government funding available in the CAIXA ECONÓMICA FEDERAL in providing subsidized housing to millions of families. By creating a total TOC construction company, Construrora Veloso in Curitiba, Brazil, is able to use Critical Chain and other TOC tools to rapdily increase the capability to expand subsidized housing by delivering low cost homes on quality and scope, on time, and at a profit The total TOC construction company model is a new application for S&T trees: The synergy of partnering experienced TOC practitioners with bright, ambitious and visionary entrepreneurs is brilliantly illustrated in this case. The use of Internet based business and TOC tools is totally innovative and shows the power of TOC as a tool for the future.
