Caracterização metodológica da inspeção predial enquanto ferramenta de engenharia diagnóstica limitada e auxiliar à gestão condominial

Abstract

Against the background of the national urbanistic context, specifically with regard to the dissemination, over the last 25 years, of a greater concern of the Public Administration with the state of conservation and with the maintenance regime of the many buildings located in urban areas, the present course completion work made use of bibliographic research to describe and discuss the main doctrinal and normative contributions that led to the beginning of the discipline of mandatory periodic building inspections in Brazil. And, once the mistakes and excesses of the first conceptual paradigms were identified, the significant change in direction that emerged with the edition of ABNT NBR 16747/2020, which guided a new methodological characterization of Building Inspection, according to which the inspector should be support eminently sensory observations to assess the current state of use of the property and the effectiveness of its maintenance system, according to a two-dimensional systemic view well outlined in the standard and according to a new understanding of its own diagnostic scope, as an essentially auxiliary activity to management condominium. In addition, this monograph used a case study to illustrate and analyze how the market behaved during the period of absence of direct standardization by ABNT, as well as to raise propositional reflections on the need for immediate applicability of the new contours of the performance of the building inspector, on the new objective limits of his recommendations and on the very new spirit of collaboration with the condominium management that must start to be effectively present in all stages of the building inspection, from the moment of the initial data collection, consubstantiated for the request for access to documents, for the anamnesis of the building and for the technical inspections, until the moment of the presentation of the technical reports of building inspection to the managers and the tenants. All this, so that, in the end, the guidelines brought by ABNT NBR 16747/2020 are reaffirmed and a new paradigm of understanding building inspection as a Diagnostic Engineering tool limited in terms of the scope of its object of study, in terms of its method of work and as to its objectives, always being aimed at serving as an assistant to condominium management.
