Abstract The mechanical application of mortar is as an adequate solution to minimize the problems in the execution of internal and external coating of the buildings. However, few scientific studies address the gains in efficiency afforded by mechanization as well as the scarce parameters of waste, productivity and quality that could contribute to choosing this technology. This article aims to characterize the presented constructive technology and to investigate the waste of mortar (percentage of losses and consumption) and the productivity of the labor in the execution of internal and external coating for sealing in the application of wet-process sprayed mortar. Investigations were carried out in 08 construction works, which presented results of up to 150% and 0.18h/m2 for, respectively, loss of industrialized mortar and labor productivity. Thus, the present research contributes to the advancement of the knowledge about the wet-process sprayed mortar by increasing the understanding of the technology. Other important contributions are the indicators of losses and productivity and their detailed measurement, which are efficient tools to assist the companies in the decision-making by adopting this technology as well as in the management of the activities during the execution process.
