Throughout the life of a building, building codes, regulations and requirements will change.
When looking at a building, it is important to undertake regular auditing to ensure the best levels of occupant safety can be maintained. Often it is unknown if previous works which have been undertaken have not compromised existing levels of safety or code compliance.

During the construction process, it is important to ensure works are being carried out in accordance with the required building approval conditions to avoid costly rectifications and non-compliance notices at completion.
We can undertake independent inspections on a building to review for compliance against the relevant building planning approvals, relevant building codes and standards, and provide written advice where issues are found on how to address the matters.
