Custos gerados pelas manifestações patológicas em fachada externa: estudo de caso

Abstract

Carrying out the facade cladding is one of the most important stages of any project, as it is responsible for protecting the building against adverse weather conditions, infiltration, providing acoustic and thermal comfort, and also promoting aesthetic benefits. However, the facade, as it performs this function of forming an external barrier, is susceptible to problems, with the presence of various pathological manifestations, which affect the project externally and internally, leading to large costs to make repairs. Therefore, this work aims to analyze these costs in a project with ceramic coating, located in the city of Maceió – AL, completed and delivered in 2022 and presenting pathological manifestations arising from the facade. to the high impact caused by the costs of these pathological manifestations for the responsible construction company, in a period so close to the completion of the work. Furthermore, some of the solutions adopted by the construction company proved to be ineffective and caused a recurrence of problems, increasing costs and dissatisfaction, also promoting greater final expenses over the years. The methodology adopted was research using data from technical assistance call records and purchase order systems, with in-person inspections and investigations also taking place, making it possible to understand the problem in depth. Therefore, through a case study of this situation, it was possible to determine a much higher value than the maintenance of the facade should be during its useful life, reaching R$ 60,000.00, causing financial damage to the construction company, affecting the quality of life of the owners and, consequently, the name and reputation of the company. Furthermore, thanks to inefficient solutions in some components, projections indicate that, over the expected useful life, costs will be hundreds of thousands of reais.
