Guidelines for Inspection and Receipt of Reinforced Concrete Structures in Newly Constructed Buildings
The purchase of real estate is an important decision, besides being costly, it must fulfill the legitimate needs and expectations of buyers, which means that it must bring comfort, safety and resistance. Therefore, receipt inspections are useful in several situations, and may be demanded by developers, builders, consumers, financing agents, insurance companies and even public entities to reduce uncertainties. The buyer have to inspect the property and formally point out any irregularities identified before formalizing the possession. Among the various systems present in a building, the structure is the system that represents greater importance in aspects related to security. In order to collaborate in this process, an excerpt from this author the master’s thesis (GROSSI 2019) was proposed, proposing guidelines and methods of inspection and receiving newly built housing, based on technical standards, legislation and established building techniques. It is a very important topic, where there are many studies aimed at building inspection during use, however, with few references related to the receipt of newly constructed buildings. The elaboration of the mentioned work was based on a broad bibliographic search, contemplating procedures for carrying out incoming inspections, covering aesthetic, functional aspects, safety in use and operation, compliance with technical standards and applicable legislation, contributing to assess the apparent building conditions of conformity and performance before its use.
