Building Inspection Process

Planning of your school’s maintenance is a cyclical process and a representative from the Building Infrastructure team can assist you in the development of your plan. The Building Infrastructure Team member can prepare an Annual Building Maintenance Condition Report to monitor the condition of buildings and facilities of the school and identify maintenance needs. The Annual Building Maintenance Condition Report will include internal and external maintenance works. The report will also identify the element (building or grounds), the frequency of inspection, the condition report and work requirement and the work priority The work items required in the maintenance program can be programmed from the Building Maintenance Condition Report to suit the work priority and budget provisions The objective of this report is to identify maintenance issues and problematic areas on a priority basis in accordance with the guidance provided If you were uncertain about a course of action or a maintenance issue that becomes known, then we would expect you to contact a representative from the Building Infrastructure Team for assistance
