This document outlines the scope of the Health Check Audit aimed at assessing the health of a building and facilities after a certain usage at periodic intervals to understand its condition and recommend preventive maintenance measures.
The audit is designed to evaluate various aspects of the building’s construction quality; quality, operational and maintenance status of various aspects related to MEP Services, and also identify potential issues that may arise over time either because of poor maintenance, or irregular operations. The audit also covers the periodic check of documents that are needed in terms of statutory compliance and regular maintenance and operations. This helps to reduce operational costs over the long run.

Objectives

  1. Assess the overall condition of the Building to check if there are any  structural distress symptoms, dampness and any other major deterioration and/or   damages
  2. Evaluate the integrity of building systems such as plumbing, electrical, lifts, STP, WTP, RWH, fire safety etc.
  3. Identify any signs of deterioration, wear and tear, or damage that may compromise the building’s safety, functionality, or longevity.
  4. Provide recommendations for preventive maintenance measures to address identified issues and ensure the building’s continued health and performance.
  5. Help building owners and managers prioritise maintenance tasks

Benefits of Service

  1. Early Detection of Issues: The audit helps identify potential problems before they escalate into costly repairs or safety hazards.
  2. Extended Lifespan: By addressing maintenance needs proactively, the building’s lifespan can be prolonged, reducing the need for major renovations or replacements. 
  3. Enhanced Safety: Ensuring the structural integrity and functionality of building systems improves occupant safety and reduces liability risks. 
  4. Cost Savings: Preventive maintenance is often more cost-effective than reactive repairs, as it prevents small issues from becoming large-scale problems. 
  5. Asset Value  Protection: Preserving the building’s condition and value through regular audits and maintenance measures safeguards the owner’s investment.
  6. Compliance Assurance: Identifying and rectifying code violations or safety concerns ensures compliance with regulatory standards and avoids potential penalties or legal issues.
