Strata Building Inspections
Strata Building Condition Reports
10-Year Operational & Maintenance Plans
We understand that Strata Managers and Owners Corporations require comprehensive Building Condition Reports in order to evaluate and to forecast for the short, medium and long term financial obligations. Through our multidisciplinary team of experts, we provide a full suite of building inspection services for our clients. Our AS 4349.0 compliant Strata Building Condition Reports provide recommendations for the mitigation, maintenance, replacement and rectification for all identified building issues and defects, inclusive of the associated timeframes and costings. This critical information enables our clients to make informed planning decisions on the future of their building and forms a key component of a Strata’s 10-year financial plan.
Let’s Keep The Process Simple
Step 1: Get Started.
Our first step is to set-up a building baseline. To plan for and manage a buildings long-term integrity, first we must understand the building in its current state. We achieve our building baseline with a uniquely collective approach that delivers a holistic assessment of the buildings current condition. Through multidisciplinary expert inspections, with a team of our experienced and professional engineers, a full review is undertaken to identify and evaluate any areas of concern. This information is compiled into a single, easy to understand report that is designed to equip our clients with the crucial information required to make informed planning decisions for the future of their building.
Step 2: What Did We Find?
Any identified issue or defect found during our multidisciplinary inspections are compiled into a single, easy to understand report that includes:
- photographs
- Detailed description of the defect
- Underlying causes
- Potential impacts
- Recommendations as to the rectification and remediation (or maintenance requirements)
- Any further investigations that may be required
- Estimated costings, and finally
- A score that summarises all of the above information into a number that simplifies the defect’s overall risk to the buildings integrity.
Step 3: Now We’re Ready!
Once are clients have been empowered with the knowledge of their buildings current condition, they can confidently begin to plan for its future.
Future planning for your building
- The condition of a building is summarised with any existing or emerging defects ranked in order of significance. This is the foundation of your planning tool which will enable you to priorities building maintenance and remedial works over the coming years.
- High risk defects can be actioned and managed immediately.
- Older buildings with outdated technologies and components can be gradually upgraded with consideration made to both cost and overall significance.
- Maintenance schedules can be adopted to mitigate the emergence of new defects and/or reduce the impact of existing defects.
- The remaining lifespan of expensive building components (lifts, air-conditioning, hydraulic/plumbing elements) can be identified early to allow for inclusion in financial forecasts.
- Sinking funds and budgets can be aligned to achieve future building requirements.
- Early detection of building issues will also allow owners advanced time in finding reputable contractors to undertake the required works. This usually means a more competitive price from a higher quality contractor, as opposed to taking the first quote due to the urgency of the matter.
- The list goes on….call our office staff today to find out more information on the benefits you can expect from our services.
Step 4: Maintain and Uphold.
If a high risk issue or defect is identified in your building that poses a serious threat to the structural integrity, building operations or safety of the occupants, our clients have the option to perform further investigations utilising the same engineers who performed the baseline inspection. Our engineers are also available to project manage the remediation works if so desired.
