Structural Audit Checklist: What Inspectors Review on Site
A structural audit answers one question: is this building or facility fit for its current and intended use? Audits are triggered before acquisition, change of occupancy, mezzanine additions, equipment upgrades, or when visible distress appears — cracks, deflection, corrosion, or rack damage.
Structarch combines document review (original drawings, past reports) with systematic on-site inspection. Findings are prioritised so owners can budget remedial works and manage safety risk.
Key points
