The civil construction sector has an important place in the country's economic and social development, producing goods of attendance related to the human necessities or to the productive capacity. The management material process has assumed great relevance due to its strategic role on reducing costs and pushing up the construction companies' technological and organizational innovation. The basic question to be considered is the way that material classification can be done using multiple criteria; hence this procedure is not being used in the construction site and may lead into problems such as lack of materials and production interruption. Thus, this work presents a case study, aiming to present a structuralized multicriteria model to the decision process in the civil construction materials management. The model aim to categorize the material in three classes.
