Audit Needs
When North Bay teams request a building audit
Audits are useful when the team needs a clearer picture of conditions and records before deciding what to correct first.
Findings are scattered
Inspection notes, contractor comments, tenant concerns, internal observations, and deficiency lists may need one organized review.
Records are hard to connect
Fire safety plans, training records, drill reports, testing reports, maintenance logs, and system documentation may not line up cleanly.
Responsibilities need sorting
Owners, managers, employers, tenants, departments, facility staff, and contractors may need clear ownership for follow-up.
