Inspeção predial: estudo de caso de um apartamento em um edifício residencial em Fortaleza-CE.

Abstract

Ensuring the habitability and safety of buildings depends directly on the early identification of faults and the efficient management of their systems. In this context, this study carried out a building inspection in an apartment in a multi-family residential building in Fortaleza-CE, with the aim of diagnosing its state of conservation and proposing a maintenance plan. The study was technically based on the guidelines of ABNT NBR 5674 and ABNT NBR 16747 standards, as well as the concepts of the Law of Evolution of Costs (Sitter's Law). The methodology followed the steps

of data collection, on-site inspection for mapping damage in the main building systems, and technical analysis of the probable causes. The identified pathological manifestations, such as infiltrations and cracks, were analyzed and subsequently prioritized through the application of the GUT matrix, a tool that allowed defining treatment priorities based on the severity, urgency, and trend of each problem. The results demonstrated that the absence of preventive maintenance accelerates the degradation of components, confirming that the adoption of periodic inspection routines is essential to mitigate risks and ensure the projected lifespan of the building.
