Perit Warrant Exam study guide
Perit Warrant Exam · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Perit Warrant Exam is the credentialing assessment for professionals who want to act as an expert in building appraisal, measurement and technical inspection - typically aparejadores, building engineers, architects técnicos and quantity surveyors working in Spain or in jurisdictions that recognise the peritaje tradition. It tests whether you can move between three worlds: the legal (contracts, liability, expert evidence, planning rules), the technical (structures, materials, installations, energy performance) and the economic (measurements, budgets, valuations). The Perit Warrant Exam study guide has 9 sections and about 2,112 words.
01Construction Law and Legal Framework
Construction Law and Legal Framework tests how a perito applies Spanish building law to real disputes: who is who on site, which guarantee period applies, and how public and private works are procured and licensed. The Ley 38/1999 de Ordenación de la Edificación defines the promotor (promotes and finances), proyectista (design), constructor (executes), director de obra (technical direction of the works) and director de ejecución (direction of execution and quality control).
280 words, about 1 min02Building Measurement and Budgeting (Mediciones y Presupuestos)
Building Measurement and Budgeting (Mediciones y Presupuestos) tests whether you can measure work from drawings, build unit prices and assemble a defensible budget. Estado de mediciones lists quantities by unit (m², m³, ml, ud).
237 words, about 1 min03Construction Technology and Materials
Construction Technology and Materials tests your command of the physical products and site processes behind a budget line: concrete, masonry, steel, timber, insulation and waterproofing. EHE-08 governs structural concrete.
233 words, about 1 min04Structural Analysis and Design
Structural Analysis and Design tests your ability to read CTE DB-SE, apply actions and combinations, and check that a member or foundation is safe and serviceable. ELU (ultimate) checks resistance and stability; ELS (serviceability) checks deflection, cracking and vibration.
222 words, about 1 min05Building Services and Installations
Building Services and Installations tests the design and verification of water, drainage, ventilation, electrical and thermal systems, mainly through CTE DB-HS and DB-SUA, REBT and RITE. DB-HS3 requires ventilation of dwellings and car parks; DB-HS4 sets supply flow and pressure; DB-HS5 sets drainage diameters, slopes and ventilation.
236 words, about 1 min06Project Management and Site Organization
Project Management and Site Organization tests planning, scheduling, site layout, safety coordination and quality control from award to reception. Gantt charts show sequence and duration; CPM identifies the critical path, the longest path through the network, with zero total float.
223 words, about 1 min07Urban Planning and Land Use
Urban Planning and Land Use tests how Spanish land law and municipal planning constrain what can be built, where and with what intensity. The Texto Refundido de la Ley de Suelo (TRLSRU, Ley 7/2015) sets basic state rules; autonomous communities and PGOU/planeamiento general set classification and calificación.
240 words, about 1 min08Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability tests CTE DB-HE, the certificado de eficiencia energética and the design choices that reduce demand and consumption. HE0 limits energy consumption; HE1 limits demand through envelope and glazing; HE2 covers thermal installations (with RITE); HE3 covers lighting efficiency; HE4 requires solar thermal for domestic hot water; HE5 requires photovoltaic generation in larger buildings.
226 words, about 1 min09Professional Practice, Ethics and Liability
