What is the difference between a handover inspection and a condition audit?
A handover inspection is done when a new building changes hands from developer to owner. A condition audit is for an existing, occupied building – it documents wear, defects and compliance status so the owners’ association can budget maintenance and plan upgrades.
Does a building condition audit help with compliance?
Yes. The audit identifies where the building falls short of regulatory standards and gives a documented, prioritised list of works, which supports your compliance records and maintenance planning.
