Building condition surveys

Detailed building condition assessments to understand the condition of your commercial property assets.

Our building condition reports provide you with an understanding of the general construction details of your property and its condition, including the presence of defects.

We use our technical building pathology and performance knowledge to make suitable recommendations on repair, replacement, demolition, or monitoring of building elements if funds dictate an inability to invest.

How do you plan investment in your commercial property?

Numerous factors apply to realising maximum potential and return from property assets. Return will vary, but understanding the condition at each stage of the property life cycle allows you to plan investment.

Building pathology

We know what it takes to repair buildings, so we’re in a strong position to outline the potential risks associated with the cause and effect of defects and prioritise the timing of repairs or replacements.

We understand the:

legal and technical requirements of asset ownership
typical life cycle of each building element
specific location and use factors that may influence the building element’s performance over a given period.

In capturing both the present-day condition of the property and the ongoing maintenance requirements over the reporting period, we review:

asset plans
test certificates and warranties of specified systems
specialist reports (asbestos and the like)
existing plans
health and safety plans
fire engineering reports.
