Why Conduct a Building Survey
A building audit is a way of ensuring that your building meets current building standards. This building could be a private dwelling or it could be a residential set of units, townhouses, office block, commercial block, and so on.
Why Conduct a Building Audit?
The audit involves visually checking a building in order to report on its overall condition. Generally, the audit will cover the structural condition of the building, any areas that may require current or future repairs, the safety of the building, if there are any hazardous
materials present (such as asbestos), and what condition the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are in. Building audits are conducted by independent professionals that have no bias, such as building consultants, building inspectors or resident architects.

This is important if you are thinking about selling a property as you’ll see what repairs are necessary in order to get you the best sale price. Alternatively, if you are thinking about buying a property, you’ll be able to see exactly what condition it is in.
