Inspeção predial em edificação residencial unifamiliar: diagnóstico, hierarquização de falhas e orientação técnica ao usuário

Abstract

This monograph addresses the importance of Building Inspection as a tool for maintenance management and safety in older buildings, presenting a case study of a single-family residence approximately 50 years old located in the Marcos Freire Residential Complex, in Fortaleza-CE. The main objective was to diagnose existing pathological manifestations, prioritize intervention needs, and develop an accessible communication proposal for the lay owner. The methodology was based on the guidelines of ABNT NBR 16747, performing a Level 1 (sensory) inspection combined with the application of the GUT Matrix (Gravity, Urgency, and Tendency) for risk classification. The results indicated a conservation state ranging from regular to precarious, identifying that, although structural stability is preserved, there are maximum criticality anomalies (Level 1) in electrical and gas installations, resulting from amateur interventions and lack of maintenance. It is concluded that the application of the GUT Matrix was effective in distinguishing imminent risks from aesthetic damages, and that the "Technical Translation" of the report proved indispensable for empowering the user, transforming complex technical terms into practical actions for patrimonial preservation and human safety.
