Inspeção predial: estudo de caso de uma edificação habitacional em São Benedito - CE

Abstract

Building inspection is an essential diagnostic tool in Civil Engineering, acting as a "health check" of the building to evaluate its performance, safety, and state of conservation. Within this context, this work presents a case study carried out in a single-family residence in the municipality of São Benedito-CE, built in 1990. The main objective was to diagnose the existing pathological manifestations and propose

technical guidelines for the recovery of the property. The methodology adopted combined in situ sensory inspection with the application of the GUT Matrix to classify and prioritize the problems found. Seventeen anomalies were cataloged, and it was found that failures in watertightness and the historical absence of preventive maintenance acted as the main causes of severe damage, such as reinforcement corrosion and deterioration of structural elements. As a result, the study proposes an intervention plan divided into three strategic phases, offering a viable technical roadmap to reestablish safety, habitability, and the valuation of the property.
