Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on building maintenance and the functioning of the Judiciary in the state of Alagoas, focusing on changes in costs and work processes between the pre, during and post-pandemic periods. 723 building maintenance service orders were analyzed in two lots in the state, covering 46 districts in total, between 2018 and 2023. The methodology included collection of financial data, categorization by type of maintenance, statistical and comparative analysis of the defined periods. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in average maintenance costs during the pandemic, attributed to the lower occupancy of buildings and the teleworking regime. However, the post-pandemic period saw a significant increase in costs, reflecting the need for accumulated repairs and structural adaptations. The T Distribution test statistically validated these variations, highlighting significant financial impacts in the preand post-pandemic periods. The study concludes that the pandemic highlighted the importance of preventive maintenance policies and flexible planning, capable of responding to crisis scenarios, as well as the adoption of preventive technologies and practices emerging as an essential strategy to ensure operational efficiency and savings. of public resources.
