The ITE is a mandatory inspection that evaluates the state of conservation of buildings over 45 years old. This review is essential to detect possible structural deficiencies and ensure that properties are safe for their occupants. The inspection includes:
➡️ Structural evaluation: Examination of pillars, beams, slabs, and other structural elements that may compromise the stability of the building.
➡️ Facade review: Inspection of cladding, balconies, cornices, and any element that may present a detachment risk.
➡️ Roofs and coverings: Analysis of waterproofing and resistance to prevent leaks or moisture damage.
➡️ Common installations: Includes inspection of electrical networks, evacuation systems, elevators, and more.
The resulting report classifies deficiencies into five categories: minor, moderate, significant, severe, and very severe. Based on this diagnosis, the building may obtain the certificate of aptitude or require interventions to comply with legal standards.
Initial contact and information gathering: We meet with you to understand the building’s characteristics and the inspection objectives. We also collect necessary documents such as blueprints and maintenance records.
On-site inspection: A technical architect visits the property to evaluate the condition of structural and non-structural elements. This includes reviewing facades, roofs, installations, and common areas.
Preparation of the technical report: We draft a detailed report that classifies the deficiencies detected and offers recommendations for their correction.
Administrative management: If the building meets the requirements, we handle the process to obtain the certificate of aptitude from the Generalitat of Catalonia. Otherwise, we advise you on the necessary repairs and how to carry them out efficiently.
Follow-up and maintenance: Our work does not end with the report. We provide follow-up services to ensure that repairs are executed correctly and that the building remains in optimal condition.
The cost of the Building Technical Inspection may vary depending on factors such as the size of the property, the number of dwellings, and the complexity of the review. As a guideline, prices usually range between:
The time needed to complete the inspection and obtain the certificate depends on the availability of documents and the building’s condition, but it usually takes between 2 and 4 weeks.
Current regulations set clear criteria for the conservation and rehabilitation of buildings. In Olesa de Montserrat, where a significant portion of properties are over 45 years old, the Building Technical Inspection is not only an obligation but also an essential tool to ensure residents’ safety and well-being.
