Taking into consideration how big, impactful and competitive the construction is in Brazil, It’s premordial the use of planning methods so the company stay in the market with differentials. Due to all the variables and specificity of each construction project, It’s necessary to have total control over the construction company accounts and even more on the purchase department. In view of the above, it was made an improvement planning for the purchase department of a construction company located in Maringá city, utilizing a project management planning model based on the PMBOK Guide. The purchase department project management started with the project opening forms and the identification of the stakeholders, next, it was made the management according to the knowledge areas, setting the limits and necessities of the following knowledge areas: scope, time, cost, quality and human resource. After planning, it was executed and monitored the documented activities, and lastly it was closed the project management and the execution analysis. In conclusion, the participation of every company sector was essencial for the development of the final solutions on the improvement of the purchase department. Taking into consideration the limitations of other sectors it was possible to make the necessary changes without influencing other important areas to the company (construction work execution, interior design and the relationship with the master builder).
