ABSTRACT
The evaluation of heritage buildings' conditions has been of interest to various international institutions. The condition assessment of heritage buildings in the Historic Center of the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, which is an essential element within the process of conservation, has historically been done in a rather subjective manner. This chapter discusses a research project whose objective is to present a methodology that contributes to the determination, in an objective manner, of the building's condition through the damage register. Systemizing and organizing information of the different inventories becomes an essential tool for monitoring and maintaining heritage buildings, and as such stopping the loss of heritage. For the information to be comparable, the damage registration cards must be applied in the Diagnosis and Control phases, guaranteeing the success of the monitoring and maintenance processes.
