Building Condition Assessment Reports

According to conventional wisdom, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But in property management, how can you be certain when something is functioning at full capacity, needs a little TLC, or is broken beyond repair? For property owners, understanding the current state of a building is crucial to effective management and long-term planning. A Building Condition Assessment Report offers invaluable insights into the health of a commercial property, highlighting both assets and liabilities.

What Is a Building Condition Assessment Report?

A Building Condition Assessment Report provides a comprehensive review and expert analysis of a commercial property. Once the on-site Building Condition Assessment is complete, findings are compiled into a detailed report that can be shared with all relevant stakeholders. Here’s what to expect:

  • Detailed Inspection Findings:

    We summarise all data collected, including thorough evaluations of building components such as cold joints, flashings, and membranes, with a close eye on deficiencies.
  • Prioritised Recommendations:

    The report includes a ranked list of identified issues and maintenance recommendations to help prioritise repairs.
  • Repair and Upgrade Suggestions:

    We outline actionable steps for necessary repairs, replacements, or upgrades, helping you to plan effectively.
  • Cost Estimates:

    Each recommended action is accompanied by an estimated cost, aiding in budget planning and decision-making.

The Purpose of a Building Condition Assessment Report

A Building Condition Assessment Report serves multiple purposes, including:

  • Meeting financing requirements for commercial property transactions or refinancing
  • Offering in-depth insights into a building’s true condition and value for informed negotiations
  • Assisting property owners and operators in monitoring and planning maintenance
  • Identifying potential safety hazards or structural deficiencies
  • Mitigating risks and ensuring the safety of building occupants and visitors
  • Assisting in long-term asset management and compliance planning

Simply put, a Building Condition Assessment Report
offers a complete understanding of a building’s condition, empowering property owners to make informed, proactive decisions about their investment, whether planning to sell or not.
