BUILDING COMPLIANCE AUDITS & REPORTS
Independent building compliance assessments for existing properties across Victoria.
Conti Group provides independent building compliance audits and technical reports for owners, purchasers, developers, owners corporations, facility managers and other stakeholders seeking to understand the condition, compliance status and potential risks associated with multi-residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
Our Registered Building Surveyors assess the relevant building documentation, inspect the property where required and provide practical advice identifying compliance issues, risks and recommended next steps.
KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DEALING WITH BEFORE IT BECOMES A PROBLEM
Existing buildings can contain compliance issues that are not immediately apparent from a visual inspection or review of the available documentation. An independent compliance audit can help identify regulatory, fire-safety, maintenance and building-condition issues before they result in unexpected cost, enforcement action or disruption.
- Identify existing building compliance risks
- Review available Building Permit and approval documentation
- Assess Essential Safety Measures and maintenance records
- Identify apparent NCC and regulatory deficiencies
- Document building defects and existing conditions
- Provide practical recommendations and next steps
BUILDING COMPLIANCE AUDITS WE PROVIDE
01
Due Diligence Audits
Independent building compliance assessments for prospective purchasers, existing owners and property stakeholders seeking to understand potential compliance risks before acquiring, selling or investing in a property.
Our review can include available approvals and building documentation, existing building conditions, apparent regulatory deficiencies and matters that may require further investigation or rectification.

Essential Safety Measures (ESM) Audits
Assessment of Essential Safety Measures, associated documentation and existing building conditions to assist owners, owners corporations and facility managers in understanding their ongoing fire and life-safety compliance obligations.
Audits may include review of maintenance records, existing Essential Safety Measure schedules and relevant building documentation, together with inspection of applicable safety measures and identification of apparent deficiencies requiring attention.
03
Aged Care Building Compliance Audits
Building compliance assessments for aged care facilities, including review of relevant fire-safety, accessibility, egress and existing-building compliance matters that may affect the continued operation, refurbishment or accreditation requirements of the facility.

Building Defects Audits & Reports
Independent inspection and reporting on observable building defects, construction issues and areas of apparent non-compliance across multi-residential, commercial and industrial properties.
The scope can be tailored to the particular property and the client’s requirements, from targeted investigation of specific concerns through to broader building-condition and compliance assessments.
