Inspections and Reports

Buildspect Pre and Post-Lease Inspections give landlords and tenants accurate and detailed information on the condition of their property.

Pre-lease Inspection

A pre-lease condition report provides the lessor with an accurate indication of the condition of their property prior to occupation, helping to reduce the chance of a dispute or costly repairs at the end of the lease term. Reports include photographs and detailed descriptions of the building, the facilities and any existing faults. A Buildspect inspection can be arranged at any time prior to the commencement of the lease.

Post-lease Inspection

A "Make-Good" schedule, which is generally prepared on behalf of the landlord, will identify breaches of obligations that have occurred during a lease relating to matters such as:

  • repair
  • decoration
  • reinstatement of alterations
  • breaches of statute, and
  • other specific requirements.

Our consultants can be engaged at various stages of the lease for the preparation of Interim, Terminal and Final "Make-Good" schedules.

Interim

In Interim Make-Good Schedule is an assessment of the building to ascertain breaches during the lease term which, if left unattended, could result in significant and escalated deterioration of the asset.

Terminal

Prepared towards the end of the lease to initiate negotiations between the landlord and surveyor’s appointed surveyor.

Final

Upon expiration of the lease an assessment will be made to establish the extent of make-good work required. The schedule will generally be costed.

We can also be engaged by a tenant to defend a "Make-Good" schedule and negotiate with the landlord's surveyor to achieve settlement of the claim.

Upon lease expiry Buildspect can either be engaged to perform rectification works for the landlord, or coordinate and oversee the rectification works on behalf of the landlord to ensure the property is available for re-letting with minimum delay.
