The objective of this work is to assess the percentage weighting of factors and indicators to determine the conservation status and calculate the physical depreciation of a building. A qualitative scientific approach was applied through the Delphi technique, involving 34 experts. Inspection-related indicators accounted for 47%, compared to building factors at 34% and environmental factors at 19%. It was identified that the structural system, when presenting severe failures, poses the highest risk of collapse; the most frequent pathologies are cracks and water infiltration. Although the study relies on expert judgment rather than direct measurements, it proposes percentage values applicable to future quantitative methods for estimating conservation status and depreciation. In conclusion, technical inspection is decisive and must be prioritized over other factors.
