In Brazil, site visits are a critical part of project management in construction and real estate sectors. The term 'visita ao canteiro' is particularly used in construction culture, where regular inspections by architects, engineers, and project managers are standard practice. In the USA, site visits are common across various industries (construction, healthcare, education, corporate) as part of due diligence, compliance, and quality assurance protocols. The practice reflects both American attention to documentation and Brazilian emphasis on personal verification and relationship-building.
