Abstract

Buildings have become very common for society and, to increase their useful life and ensure greater safety in use, the execution of building inspections and preventive maintenance are essential. The building inspection allows the encounter and analysis of faults and anomalies in the building by qualified professionals, being very important for the preventive maintenance of the building. Due to this importance, building inspection became mandatory in some cities, such as Fortaleza through Law Number 9,913. Given the relevance of the subject, the present paper presents a case study of the University Press of the Federal University of Ceará, which, although it presents low constructive complexibility, has relevant functions for the university and contains a significant area. The building inspection was carried out in accordance with the Municipal Building Inspection Law of Fortaleza, the NBR 16747 standard and the National Building Inspection Standard made available by the Brazilian Institute of Assessments and Expertise (IBAPE), in addition to being guided by the document Technical Guidance for Building Inspection and Technical Audit elaborated by the Brazilian Institute of Engineering Audit (IBRAENG). From the inspection performed, anomalies and failures were found in several systems, totaling 58 nonconformities present in the building, and sanitizing measures were indicated with indication of priorities ordered according to the GUT matrix. Therefore, building inspection was a tool of paramount importance for the maintenance of the life of the University Press, because it allowed the identification of non-conformities and maintenance necessary to increase its durability and improve its use.
