IS YOUR STRATA PROPERTY CONDITION REPORT UP TO DATE?

Small building issues can become bigger maintenance problems when they go unnoticed.

Cracking • Water Ingress • Drainage • Facade Issues • Deterioration

Regular strata property inspections can help identify and document issues early, support maintenance planning and help protect the condition of your property.

A newly built home can look perfect, but small defects may become bigger problems when they are not identified early.

From cracking and waterproofing issues to poor drainage, uneven floors, roofing and plumbing concerns, early inspections can help identify and document problems before they lead to costly repairs or disputes.

Thinking about building a new home in Melbourne or key suburbs in Victoria? Make sure potential issues are identified early.

👉 Read our latest blog to learn more about common new home building defects and why early inspections matter.

A Crack Appears After Nearby Construction?

Was the crack already there?
Did nearby construction cause it?
Or did it become worse during ongoing construction?

A comprehensive dilapidation report records the property's condition before construction begins helping establish a clear baseline before work starts.

Document it comprehensively before construction starts.

Safe Exit Paths in Class 1 Buildings

When it comes to emergency evacuation, an exit is more than just a doorway.

For Class 1 buildings, the NCC requires safe movement to and within the building. Stairways and ramps must be designed and constructed to minimise the risk of slips, trips and falls.

Under NCC 2022 Volume Two – Part H5 (Safe Movement and Access), compliance includes requirements for:

🔹 Safe gradients for walking surfaces
🔹 Suitable handrails where required
🔹 Appropriate landings
🔹 Safe stairway and ramp construction
🔹 Slip-resistant stair treads, ramps and landings
🔹 Consistent stair risers and goings

The ABCB Housing Provisions, Part 11.2 – Stairway and Ramp Construction provides detailed requirements, including stair dimensions and slip-resistance classifications.

For example, standard residential stairways generally require:

• Riser: 115–190 mm
• Going: 240–355 mm
• Maximum 18 risers per flight
• Slip-resistant surfaces in accordance with the applicable requirements of AS 4586

These requirements are particularly important for external stairs and exit paths, where exposure to rain and other weather conditions can increase slip risks.

At Pty Ltd /Houspect Victoria, our building inspections help identify potential safety and construction issues that may affect the functionality and safety of a property.

Build with confidence. Inspect with confidence.

Are Your Exit Doors and Escape Routes Safe in an Emergency?

When it comes to building safety, small design details can make a significant difference during an emergency.

✅ Exit doors should open in the direction of travel.

This allows occupants to evacuate more quickly and reduces congestion and delays during an emergency situation.

✅ Slip-resistant surfaces on ramps and stairs are essential.

Exit paths must remain safe under all conditions. Providing slip-resistant finishes on ramps and stairways helps reduce the risk of slips and falls, particularly during wet weather or when occupants need to evacuate quickly.

Whether you're designing, constructing, inspecting, or maintaining a property, ensuring safe and compliant means of egress is a fundamental responsibility.

At Acespect Pty Ltd, our building inspections assess key safety elements to help identify defects and promote compliance with the National Construction Code and relevant Australian Standards.

Remember: A safe exit route isn't just about compliance it's about protecting lives.
