Report
Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document
What is a Facade Inspection Report?
This report documents the inspection of building facades, assessing structural integrity, water tightness, and identifying defects such as corrosion, cracking, and anchor failures. It includes sections for component inspections, defects, observations, testing results, and recommendations.
Key Sections
The report includes inspection information, repeatable facade components, defects, observations, testing results (conditionally required), conclusions, and signatures of involved parties.
Photo Evidence
Attach photos of the general facade overview, defect close-ups, water ingress evidence, anchor condition, and test setup. Photos provide visual proof of the facade's condition.
Regulatory Compliance
Use this report to document compliance with facade safety regulations that require periodic inspections. The structured format helps meet reporting requirements.
Maintenance Planning
The report helps building owners and engineers plan repairs by clearly documenting defects and observations. It serves as a baseline for future inspections.
Insurance Documentation
Provide the report to insurers as evidence of regular facade inspections and the building's condition. This may support claims or premium assessments.
Pre-Purchase Assessment
When buying a building, use this report to evaluate the facade's condition and identify potential repair costs.
Audit Trail
Maintain a historical record of facade inspections for internal or external audits. The report includes signatures and dates for accountability.
Handover Documentation
When a building changes ownership or management, this report provides a snapshot of the facade's condition at the time of handover.

Enter Inspection Information
Record the inspection date, inspector name, building address, and building owner to establish the context.
- 2
Inspect Facade Components
For each component (e.g., cladding panel, glazing, anchor), enter its type, location, condition rating, and notes. The component section is repeatable.
- 3
Document Defects and Observations
Record defects with type, location, severity, description, and photos. Add general observations about the facade condition.
- 4
Record Test Results (if applicable)
If tests were conducted (e.g., water spray, anchor pull-out), record the test type, result, and notes. This section is conditionally required.
- 5
Sign and Finalize
Provide overall condition rating, recommendations, and next inspection date. The inspector and building owner sign the report. Export as PDF or share.
