Ingrid and Wellington Mello Mello: questions to decide the changes you make in real estate without losing the guarantees
The Standard 15.575/2013, also known as Performance Standard for Buildings Housing, the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), completed a year in force yesterday, but still provokes questions on owners of new homes, ready to be delivered. The law provides for minimum and maximum validity for certain parts of the building, checked by construction. To preserve this guarantee, however, buyers can not move in almost none of the original plant.
The project coordinator, Ingrid Mello, 34, and her husband, Wellington Mello, 35, already considered what you will do in the new house - building in Eldorado at Santa Rosa, Niteroi - which must be delivered in September, but several questions arose. She would like to reform it and lose the guarantees. He did not.
- We could stick to the project, not to lose the guarantees. On the one hand, it would not be good because cease doing interesting changes. On the other, minimizarķamos stress with each other - says Ingrid, who consulted on the construction company that was allowed to change in retirement, to avoid injury.
Fabio Villas Boas, coordinator of the studies in the review of the standard commission makes an analogy to a vehicle:
- If you change the wheel, for example, you lose your warranty.
Sydnei Menezes, President of the Council of Architecture and Urbanism in Rio (CAU-RJ), explains that, for the person to learn what you can change, you should see the memorial of the property, delivered by the builder. Handling the electric part, only loses his security.
- Guarantees are separated - explains Claudio Hermolin, vice president of the Association of Directors of Corporate Real Estate Market (Ademi).
