Site audit checklist

A scope written from a floor plan tends to miss the things that cost money. This is the walk we use before pricing any estate.

Building fabric and plant

  • Roof, gutters and external fabric condition
  • Plant rooms: access, labelling and isolation points
  • HVAC, boilers and pumps with age and service history
  • Electrical distribution and last fixed wire test date
  • Lifts, shutters and any specialist equipment on site

Cleaning and site services

  • Floor areas and surface types by zone
  • Washroom count, consumable types and replenishment pattern
  • Waste streams, bin store location and collection frequency
  • Grounds, car parks and external cleaning requirements
  • Periodic tasks currently in scope and their frequency

Security and access

  • Entry points, reception cover and visitor process
  • CCTV, access control and alarm coverage with age
  • Lone-working areas and staff-safety arrangements
  • Keyholding and alarm response arrangements in place
  • Hours of occupation and quiet windows for works

This checklist is published as practical guidance. It is not a contractual document, and the arrangements for your own site are confirmed following a site review.
