Audit & Priority Report, Brisbane & SEQ
Our most comprehensive assessment — a whole-of-building investigation that documents all defects, maintenance issues and compliance concerns, organised into a prioritised remediation programme with indicative timeframes and costs.
A complete picture and a clear roadmap
The Audit and Priority Report is designed for owners and managers who need a complete picture of a building’s condition and a clear, actionable remediation roadmap. It suits:
Strata bodies corporate and managers undertaking a planned maintenance review or responding to escalating defect complaints; commercial owners and managers assessing a building before a change of tenancy or capital works programme; purchasers in due diligence; owners planning a major repair programme; and bodies corporate preparing 10-year sinking fund forecasts and maintenance plans.
What the report covers
Building envelope
Roof and roof drainage; external facades, render, cladding and waterproofing; balconies, terraces and external walkways.
Structure & subfloor
Visible structural elements and the subfloor where accessible.
Services & common areas
Common areas and internal services where applicable, plus site drainage and stormwater management.
Defect documentation
Each defect is documented with photographs and location, description and probable cause, applicable standard, severity rating, indicative remediation approach and cost range.
Prioritised action matrix
A summary section presents a prioritised action matrix — immediate / short-term / medium-term / planned maintenance — with recommended response timeframes.

A typical residential strata complex (10–20 units) requires half a day on site, with the written report delivered within 5–7 business days. The prioritised programme is directly suitable for informing a 10-year sinking fund forecast.
