What to check
- condition survey and defect priorities.
- inspection points and seasonal exposure.
- access requirements and occupied areas.
- planned projects and lease obligations.
Plan the next decision
Schedule work according to condition and consequence, not by spreading budget evenly. Coordinate access-heavy tasks and address water entry or unsafe deterioration early.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.
Related work
Use the relevant commercial route, browse maintenance and contact the responsible business with the site-specific requirement.
Source
See current official guidance. Apply it to the actual premises and recheck current requirements before relying on time-sensitive details.
Frequently asked questions
How do I prioritise fabric repairs?
Use condition findings and the impact of defects to distinguish work needing prompt attention from repairs that can be programmed. Record the reason for each priority.
What information should be kept between visits?
Keep locations, photographs, findings and repairs together, so the next inspection can identify recurring defects or deterioration.
