Inspeção predial: estudo de caso da Casa de Cultura Portuguesa da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

The building inspection is a process that aims to bring greater comfort and safety to users of a building. The realization of this study seeks to identify possible flaws and anomalies present in the property, so that they can be corrected and do not compromise the useful life of the building. Building inspection has become increasingly important for the population, given the numerous accidents that have been observed due to the deterioration of buildings. In order to carry out inspections, there are rules and legislation that, in addition to guaranteeing the mandatory nature of the study, address the criteria and methodologies that must be followed. The present work consists of carrying out a building inspection based on the Municipal Property Inspection Law of Fortaleza/CE N°9913, following the NBR 16747 standard and the National Property Inspection Standard of 2012 of the Brazilian Institute of Assessments and Expertise (IBAPE). The place chosen for the study was the Casa de Cultura Portuguesa of the Federal University of Ceará, created in 1965. Initially, it was installed in a property provided by the University, having been transferred in early November 1967 to its own headquarters, in the vicinity of the Rectory, where it remains to this day. The place has great value for the University and for the Ceará and Brazilian populations in general, due to its importance for the study and transmission of the foreign language and Portuguese culture.
