What is a building audit?

Technical due diligence is a compliance review of an existing building carried out before a purchase, sale or refinance, so a buyer or owner understands the risks before committing. BCAlign provides building audits and technical due diligence across Sydney and NSW, assessing BCA, fire safety and accessibility compliance and quantifying the cost of any upgrades required. Our reports give investors, developers, asset owners and property managers a clear picture of a building's true compliance position. We review existing approvals and certification, inspect the building, and identify the key non compliances and statutory risks that could affect value or delay a transaction.

What is technical due diligence for a building?

Technical due diligence is the process of assessing an existing building's compliance and condition so stakeholders can make an informed decision before a transaction. BCAlign's building audits cover:

  • BCA and Access compliance reviews of existing buildings for acquisition, divestment or refinancing

  • Identification of key non compliances, upgrade requirements and associated statutory risks

  • Technical Due Diligence reports addressing safety, certification and accessibility obligations

  • Review of existing approvals, certification and maintenance documentation

  • Site inspections to verify fire, life safety and access compliance

When should you commission a building audit?

You should commission a building audit before acquiring, divesting or refinancing a property, or before a change of use or major alteration. Understanding compliance risk before you commit protects you from inheriting expensive upgrade obligations you did not budget for.

Who uses technical due diligence reports?

Investors, developers, asset owners and property managers across commercial, residential, retail, industrial and mixed use buildings use these reports throughout NSW. The report gives each stakeholder the evidence they need to negotiate, budget or proceed with confidence.

Why choose BCAlign for building audits?

BCAlign takes a pragmatic approach, identifying which elements genuinely need upgrade or modification and ensuring any recommended works are commensurate with the risk and scope of the project, rather than a blanket compliance overhaul. Every audit is led by a registered NSW Building Surveyor (Unrestricted).
