How to Prepare Your Building for a Facility Audit

Facility audits provide a snapshot of your building’s condition, risks and future budget requirements.

Start by gathering existing documentation: floor plans, equipment manuals, previous maintenance reports and warranty information.

During the audit, engineers will inspect mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems as well as life-safety equipment such as fire alarms and extinguishers.

Be honest about known issues. Hiding problems only delays solutions and can increase risk.

After the audit, prioritise findings into urgent safety issues, near-term repairs and long-term upgrades. This structure helps you build a realistic CAPEX and OPEX plan.

A good audit turns vague concerns into actionable data you can use to protect your asset value.
