<br />
The challenge foud in the concession of the benefit was the implementation of the work by the beneficiary, some of them did not have any resource avaliable for the hiring of qualified work hand, for example: electricians.Therefore, the work was executed only when the person receives the specific resource for the contraction of specialized service, impacting at the time of execution of thw work.
- Credentiated commercial establishments (suppliers) of the construction materials segment.

As a negative point, the low quality of the services carried out by the beneficiaries and the work hand contracted by them.
The main difficulty to be overcome consisted in adequating the work of the technical team to the necessary demand of service.
