This work had as main objective to carry out a literary review regarding the importance of the preventive and corrective maintenance manual in buildings, describing the entire process and the technical information involved in the management and maintenance of the engineering process. Corrective maintenance is maintenance characterized by immediate care, whose objective is to allow continuity of use and avoid risks or injuries to users of a given building.
