What this means

A high-rise inspection should match the unit, accessible systems and shared-building boundaries.

Condo and apartment inspection focuses on the accessible home unit and the checks authorised within the selected package. Shared property, concealed services and specialist systems require separate access, authority and scope.

Practical sequence

What shapes a useful high-rise inspection

The checklist is a ceiling and working reference. The actual visit follows the unit, safe access, authorised methods and evidence needed for the homeowner's decision.

01

Unit configuration

Confirm the built-up size, room layout, balconies, yards, service areas and any duplex or townhouse features before the visit.

02

Electrical points

Review visible condition and only the functional or instrument checks authorised within the package.

03

Plumbing and sanitary

Observe accessible fixtures, water flow, discharge and visible leakage under the available conditions.

04

Wet areas

Record accessible wet-area conditions and authorised water-related checks without promising concealed membrane performance.

05

Doors and windows

Review accessible operation, alignment, finish and visible water-entry indicators where applicable.

06

Finishes and workmanship

Observe walls, ceilings, tiles, floors, joinery, fittings and other accessible visible work.

07

Provided systems

Record visible air-conditioning, heater, fibre or other provided points only where they form part of the confirmed scope.

08

Shared-building boundary

Keep management-controlled areas, façades, risers, common roofs and specialist systems outside the unit scope unless separately authorised.

How it works

From unit details to a clearer handover decision

01

02

Prepare access

Keep surfaces, service areas, keys, access cards and relevant documents available.

03

Inspect and record

Apply relevant authorised checks and keep evidence connected to location, method and limitation.

04

Plan the next step

Use the report to raise current concerns, preserve the baseline and plan repair verification where needed.

Does the inspection include common facilities?

Not automatically. A normal unit inspection follows the selected home and confirmed scope. Common property requires authority, access and a separately agreed purpose.

Are all 48 checks guaranteed for every unit?

No. The number is a ceiling in the working reference. Only applicable, accessible and authorised checks within the selected package apply.

Can DPM inspect the external façade from inside the unit?

DPM may record visible internal or accessible interface conditions. Full façade assessment requires the appropriate access, authority and specialist method.

What if management restricts access?

The limitation is recorded. Arrange required access in advance where the area is relevant to the confirmed scope.
