Cuiabá, the study site of this work, has four Emergency Care Units, named by: North, South, East and West, of these, the East and West Units are analyzed in this research. About the building system, the East Unit presents the conventional system of structure in reinforced concrete and masonry for sealing, while the West Unit, has the mixed industrialized building system employed, this structured in metallic profiles with sealing in Light Steel Framing. Considering this differential, the objective of this research is to analyze, in a comparative way, the performance of the Emergency Care Units East and West of the municipality of Cuiabá - Mato Grosso, under the perspective of sustainability, cost, term and productivity. In order to reach the proposed objective, the resources of bibliographic research, documentary research and field research were used, for development of a methodological basis for evaluating environmental sustainability, as well as indicators for the evaluation of cost, term and productivity. The results obtained demonstrate, for sustainability, unsatisfactory performance for both Units, with better performance of the West Unit; for the parameter of cost, lower costs and consequently better performance of the East Unit; for the term, similar performance for the two Units; and, for productivity, the results found are controversial, making it impossible to evaluate the performance of the Units for this parameter.
