Maintenance Reports Make Cents
 Neglect of maintenance is costing Australia hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Owners are ignorant of the actual condition of the building and have often tolerated ineffective band-aid building work.
Managers and owners have a duty to keep their buildings safe and in a reasonable condition. Recent legal cases mean they can be sued if the property is unsafe or neglected. Timely maintenance can be a fraction of the cost of major repairs or replacement.
How Tyrrells can help you
Tyrrells have a team of specialist consultants who all have building and timber pest qualifications and extensive experience with maintenance problems. We look for:
- the condition of all major materials and components
- basic fire safety problems
- timber pests.
What we do
After surveying owners for their "local" knowledge, we carry out a thorough inspection and carefully and clearly report the main issues. We identify the overall condition and the estimate of likely annual maintenance costs. this estimate is based upon the remaining life of all key materials and allows you to more accurately plan for future expenditure without the bad news of unexpected special levies.
If the building is less than 7 years old, we can inspect it and provide you with a consolidated list of all the defects and incomplete work that contractors so often leave you to live with. You can use this list to get the contractor to rectify and complete any defects.
If the builder doesn't cooperate, we can help you lodge a complaint or insurance claim against the contractor.
When building work is necessary, we can also help you find the right contractor and plan the sequence of work to minimise inconvenience to occupants. We prepare a scope of works including any troublesome details, analyse quotes, carry out progress payments and authorise payment when each stage is complete.
