Método de evaluación técnica y valoración económica de daños y defectos de las carpinterías exteriores en edificios de viviendas de nueva planta

Abstract

Damage and defects in fenestratrion of new buildings generate

multiple legal claims for the corresponding civil liability of

building agents in Spain. Frames usually comply with the

legally enforceable regulatory requirements. Judicial claims

have origin in the defects that occur mainly in the installation

on site, which entail the loss of technical performance, some

of which could be verified by on-site tests, although not

all. In this research, we develop tools to inspect windows

quickly but systematically and to evaluate their damage

and defects as objectively as possible, even in the absence

of tests. We present tables with the performance failures,

defects, and damages that we have found most frequently in

our inspections of building openings. This tables can facilitate

their inspection and identification. We present the method

that we use to objectively assess the technical relevance of

damage and defects in buildings openings. This method uses a

scale of degree of affectation to the corresponding technical

performance required for each window and the relation of this

with the economic valuation of the reparation, which is the

most relevant final parameter of any legal claim.
