Building maintenance inspections are conducted on a regular basis to identify building and maintenance issues that can be rectified over time. In this case, it can save the property owners thousands of dollars in costly repairs by having regular maintenance inspections completed. At CTP, our building maintenance reports will identify structural issues, both major and minor, that can be repaired and further damage prevented. Identifying the issues early can prevent further deterioration of the structure.
On average, building maintenance inspections should be conducted every 3-5 years to identify and monitor areas of concern. This frequency will depend on the age of the property as well as its features and exposure to external factors.
A building maintenance inspector will primarily focus on the main structure on the property. They will inspect:
The inspection report will include a summary of the assessed areas of the property and outline identified areas of concerns including structural defects, damage, major and minor faults and general wear and tear. As the reports are conducted on regular schedule, owners and inspectors can compare previous report results to determine if issues have been properly rectified or if they are persisting.
When conducted regularly, building maintenance inspections are considered a preventative action. This means that identified issues can be rectified and long-term costs are avoided. Early detection is key and small issues don’t develop into large issues. It is essentially a ‘health check’ for your property.
