Planning the individualization of water and gas supplies during the project ensures savings, transparency, and immediate value for developers and property buyers.
O Brazilian real estate market is experiencing a period of expansion and, therefore, construction companies need to innovate to win over demanding customers.
A Brazilian Association of Real Estate Developers (ABRAINC) registered in 2024 um 21,9% growth in residential launches, totalizing 150,2 thousand units.
In that scenario, the Federal Law No. 13.312/2016, in force since 2021, determines that all new condominiums have individualized water metering, which guarantees equity and transparency between residents.
Thus, the technical differential also became a legal obligation — and who anticipates get ahead of the competition.
Efficiency and economy in the execution of the work
Plan the individualization from the design phase avoids high costs with future adaptations.
The installation of individual water meters e gas meters during construction is cheaper and more practical, reducing deadlines and facilitating the compliance with technical standards.
According to a Guilherme Lahoz, manager of LiveT, "By providing for individualization from the construction stage onwards, the construction company reduces adaptation costs and adds value to the property".
This strategy still improves schedule efficiency, avoids rework and ensures compliance with regulations in force.
Direct advantage for the buyer
For the consumer, the individualization represents savings and fairness in billing, increasingly decisive factors when making a purchase.
Studies by industry entities indicate that savings can range from 30% to 40% in the consumption of water and gas.
The result is immediate: each resident pays only for what they consume, stimulating the rational use of resources e valuing heritage invested.
Also, in the resale of the property, the technical differential makes the good more attractive and facilitates future negotiations.
Transparency and efficiency are therefore transformed into lasting competitive advantages.

Competitiveness and prominence at launch
Even after years of the law being in force, the individualization is still little adopted in old condominiums.
One of the SíndicoNet survey (2024) revealed that only 33% of Brazilian condominiums have individual water meters.
This data proves that predict the system while still in the design phase is an relevant competitive differentiator to accelerate sales and increase the value of the business.
Projects that deliver this solution convey modernity, sustainability and responsibility, aspects that directly influence the buying decision.
Sustainability and social responsibility
Individualized measurement also reinforces the environmental commitment of construction companies, promoting the conscious consumption e reducing waste.
By aligning the project with practices water and energy efficiency, the enterprise gains ESG value and meets the environmental expectations of modern buyers.
Thereby, trustees and managers have clear performance indicators, facilitating the control of collective consumption.
The consequence is positive for everyone: fewer conflicts, more transparency and more balanced management.
Practical and immediate benefits
- Legal compliance: a Law 13.312 / 2016, in force since 2021, requires individualized measurement in new condominiums.
- Efficiency in the work: the installation in the project is cheaper, faster and safer than in later reforms.
- Real economy: studies show reduction of up to 40% in water and gas consumption per unit.
- Commercial attractiveness: the resource speeds up sales e value the property since launch.
- Proven sustainability: the system promotes rational use of resources e strengthens environmental practices in the sector.
