ABSTRACT
The
lack of care related to maintenance management is directly linked to the
absence of plans for maintenance of buildings. Because of that,
there is a big incidence of building accidents caused by the negligence of
managers and the lack of investment. The research has shown that, although
building inspection is a consolidated building maintenance tool, managers do
not prepare their building maintenance plan, nor use building inspection as a
tool, leading the buildings to the premature obsolescence. The research calls
attention to the building inspection technique that can be used to evaluate
building maintenance and conservation. It is also a tool for analysis and
investment planning based on actions to solve failures and anomalies that might
come out during the building inspection. Those failures and anomalies are
classified according to their degree of risk, determining the technical
priorities of the investment adjustment in the maintenance plan. The paper
presents a risk analysis methodology which classifies inspect elements in a
building, determining the priority order of services to be executed on a scale
from minimum risk (1)
to imminent risk (5).
The method shows a tool for building inspection, and it serves as a guideline
for building maintenance interventions.
