As the time passes and new technologies arise, the mankind has been dared more in new architectural projects trying bolder forms or valuing aspects such as: practically, economy, environmentally friendly projects, considering the importance of the accessibility. Technological advances and especially the emergence of computer technology contribute for the building construction, from it conception until the execution of projects of any work. At the same time they allow more accuracy and agility in the calculations, they help in the query of data. The UFSM as a federal institute in recent years goes through a "boom" in the area of building on the expansion of its physical structure. This increase is not being followed in the same way in the management of documentation, because the use of the physical medium to keep copies of these documents for purposes of control. Through applied research PROINFRA employees of found that this form of file management is not efficient, so that the details are not obtained quickly, the professionals not know the rules regarding the time of custody of documents relating to works and activities would improve greatly if the system was computerized.
