Property investigations
1. Building Damage: Assessing building damage. We can also locate and advise on building problems (such as leaks).
2. Zoning and land use: Determining the zoning regulations and restrictions applicable to the property, as well as any potential land use limitations or special considerations.
3. Building permits and code compliance: Checking if all necessary building permits were obtained for any existing structures on the property, ensuring compliance with local building codes, and identifying any potential violations.
4. Environmental assessments: Assessing potential environmental risks or hazards associated with the property, such as soil contamination or proximity to hazardous waste sites.
5. Property condition assessment: Evaluating the overall condition of buildings, structures, utilities, and other improvements on the property to identify any maintenance issues or necessary repairs.
6. Market analysis: Conducting a comparative market analysis to determine the fair market value of a property based on recent sales data in similar areas.
These are just some examples of what can be involved in a property investigation. Is there anything specific you would like assistance with regarding your own investigation?

Project Management
Our approach encompasses:
1. Understand the Body Corporate's Goals: Familiarize yourself with the specific goals and objectives of the client. This will help you align your project management efforts with their overall vision.
2. Engage Stakeholders: Involve all relevant stakeholders, such as property owners, tenants, committee members, and facility managers, in the decision-making process. Regularly communicate updates and seek their input to ensure their needs are met.
3. Prioritize Maintenance and Repairs: Facility maintenance is a critical aspect of managing Body Corporates. Develop a system for prioritizing maintenance tasks based on urgency, impact on residents' safety or comfort, and budget constraints.
4. Vendor Management: Establish strong relationships with contractors and service providers who work on-site regularly. Maintain a database of reliable vendors to ensure timely response to maintenance requests or emergencies.
5. Budgeting and Financial Management: Work closely with the finance team or committee members to develop accurate budgets for each project while considering long-term financial sustainability for the Body Corporate.
6. Compliance Monitoring: Stay updated on local regulations related to building codes, health and safety standards, environmental requirements, etc., ensuring that all projects adhere to these guidelines.
7 . Technology Integration: Explore technology solutions that can streamline operations within facility management processes such as asset tracking systems or automated reporting tools.
8 . Proactive Planning: Anticipate future needs by conducting regular inspections of facilities and identifying potential issues before they become major problems requiring costly repairs or replacements.
9 . Continuous Improvement: Encourage feedback from residents regarding their satisfaction levels with facility management services through surveys or suggestion boxes; use this feedback constructively to improve processes continually.
10 . Professional Development: Stay informed about industry trends in facility management by attending conferences/seminars/webinars or joining professional organizations dedicated to this field; this will help you stay ahead and bring innovative ideas to your projects
1. Building Report - covers structural areas and also includes a 'good working order check' of all fixtures, fittings, fixed appliances, electrical and plumbing.
2. Timber Pest Report - Covers the five key timber pests around and inside the property as well as environmental issues. This report is not normally required for units and apartments as Timber Pest Inspections and Treatments are usually a Body Corporate responsibility.
3. Minimum Housing Standards Report - In September 2023 the Queensland Government introduced Minimum Housing Standards For Rental Properties Legislation. Effectively, from September 2023, when any new lease or a renewing lease for a rental property in Queensland is signed, that leased property must be at the minimum standards (or better) as per the legislation. Our Minimum Housing Standards Report reviews the proposed rental property against the legislative requirements and either is allocated a Pass or Fail with reason why. This enables the landlord and property manager to focus on rectification works to quickly ensure the property is ready for the rental market.
4. Tax Depreciation Schedule - If a rental property is less than 30 years old, and/or has had major renovations undertaken then it is imperative that the investor has a Depreciation Schedule compiled by our Quantity Surveyors. The Schedule not only includes the usual goods and chattels depreciations but also includes the construction costs, at the time of construction, and extrapolates all costs over a maximum of 40 years for an annual deduction figure. This can be a very considerable dollar value that can significantly increase the investors ROI.
5. Handover Defects Report - For those investors who are purchasing house and land packages where the house is to be constructed, then this report is independent from the builder and therefore a must prior to final payment being made. The report ispects the building (and landscaping if included) for all defects in materials and workmanship and produces a list for the builder to rectify before final payment is made. This is an excellent report to ensure the house is handed over to expectations.
6. Investor Packages - Depending on the property type we can combine reports to meet investor requirements. Combining three or more reports will attract discount pricing which is a saving to the investor in the first instance. The costs of report packages are an allowable deduction for the investor from the first year of ownership, a saving in the second instance. For example: an investor buying an existing house may request a Pest and building Inspection with a Minimum Housing Standards Inspection and a Tax Depreciation Schedule - this bundle could amount to a discount of $400 less, than ordering each inspection individually at different times.

Pre-purchase/pre-sale property inspections, handover defect inspections, and dilapidation reports are essential services that help ensure the smooth and hassle-free process of buying or selling a property. Here's a breakdown of each service:
INSPECTIONS
1. Pre-purchase/pre-sale property inspections: These inspections are conducted before buying or selling a property to identify any potential issues or defects that may affect its value or safety. A qualified inspector will thoroughly examine the property, including its structure, electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, and more. They will provide you with a detailed report highlighting any existing problems or areas that require attention.
2. Handover defect inspections: When purchasing a newly constructed property from a developer or builder, it is crucial to conduct a handover defect inspection before taking possession. This inspection ensures that all construction work has been completed as per the agreed-upon standards and specifications. The inspector will check for any defects in materials used, workmanship quality issues, incomplete installations, and other potential problems.
3. Dilapidation reports: Dilapidation reports are typically carried out before construction works commence on neighboring properties to assess their current condition accurately. These reports document the existing state of nearby structures such as buildings, roads, fences, etc., through detailed photographs and written descriptions. This serves as evidence against any claims made by adjacent property owners regarding damage caused by construction activities.
By availing these services:
Buyers can make informed decisions about purchasing properties by understanding their condition beforehand.
Sellers can address any issues proactively to increase the marketability of their properties.
Developers can ensure compliance with building regulations while delivering high-quality projects.
