To improve the efficiency of construction management process, Lean Construction principles have been employed since they allow planning performance enhancement. Variability, is considered by several authors as the main cause for the occurrence of losses. The standardization can be used to reduce variability, because it allows a better control of production and can be applied since the beginning of the process to ensure that all the necessaries recourses – complete kit – are available, and in ideal and standardized conditions. Thus, the main objective of this paper was to identify the types of variability in the masonry structural production process through technical standard and use of complete kit. For this, an exploratory study of multiples cases was carried out, using field observation and data recording. It was identified that the types of variability occurred when there was distance from the desired pattern. In addition, interferences occurred in the category of work preparation to complete kit. In addition, the interferences belong to the preparation category of the work, which considers that the items of the complete kit and the resulting variabilities brought, as a consequence, losses of the making-do type. Thus, it is expected, with this diagnosis, to contribute to the improvement of the performance of this process.
