02 — Method

Evidence, not opinion.

Every diagnosis starts with field measurement and ends in a traceable document, with ART.

/01

Field survey

Inspection with instrumentation and geo-referenced photographic record of each point.

/02

Technical analysis

Investigation of the cause, mechanism and link of anomalies, in light of applicable standards.

/03

Diagnosis

Classification by severity and urgency, with prioritized intervention recommendations.

/04

Report with ART

Complete, well-founded and signed technical document, ready for any forum.

03 — Technology

Technology: the foundation behind every report.

Rome endured for centuries because it laid its foundations well. At Capitulino, the foundation of every report is measurement — thermography, drone inspection and non-destructive testing turn what the eye can't see into traceable evidence.

/ INFRARED

Thermography

Identifies infiltration, cladding detachment, bonding failures and hot spots — anomalies invisible to the naked eye, mapped before they become pathology.

/ AERIAL

Drone inspection & thermography

Façades, roofs and hard-to-reach structures inspected with aerial camera and thermography — no scaffolding, with safety and full coverage.

/ TESTING

Non-destructive

Sclerometry, cover metering and bond tests provide objective data on concrete and structure — precise assessment without damaging the building.

04 — In the field

Diagnosis you can see in the field.

Every report starts with field measurement and record — the instrument on the anomaly, documented evidence. A sample of work across industry, condominiums and structures.

05 — About
Capitoline — the hill where Rome laid its foundations. Solidity that endures for centuries.

Capitulino Engenharia Diagnóstica carries the name of the founder's grandfather and the idea he stood for: what is well founded endures. We bring that principle to every building — diagnosis made with instruments, standards and method, never guesswork.

Founded in 2022, headquartered on Av. Paulista, it serves the entire state of São Paulo and other states — industries, condominiums, builders and the legal sector that need a diagnosis that holds up.

06 — Frequently asked questions

Before requesting a quote.

What is a building inspection and when do I need one?
It is the technical, systematic assessment of a building's state of conservation (NBR 16747). Recommended periodically — and required by law in several municipalities for condominiums — it underpins the maintenance plan and user safety.
What's the difference between a condition report and a building inspection?
The condition report (NBR 13752) records the factual state of a building or element at a given moment. The building inspection is broader: it classifies anomalies by severity and urgency and produces a priority plan.
Does the report have technical and legal validity?
Yes. Every report comes with an ART (Technical Responsibility Note) registered with CREA, which binds the engineer's responsibility and gives the document technical backing — including for out-of-court and court purposes.
What is the turnaround time?
It varies with the size of the building and the scope of the service. The timeline is set together with the quote, after understanding exactly what needs to be assessed.
Do you work outside São Paulo?
Yes. We are based in São Paulo, but we serve the entire state and other states across the country, depending on demand.
How does the quote work?
You describe the building and what needs to be assessed (via WhatsApp or email) and we get back with scope, timeline and price — no obligation.
