Property Risk Audits

Risk Visibility Across Every Site and Asset You Own

Managing property risk isn’t just about ticking boxes. Landlords, facilities leads, and H&S managers face rising expectations to prove risk has been identified, controlled, and acted on, especially across portfolios, tenancies, and high-traffic sites.

Our property risk audits give you a clear, consolidated view of your safety and compliance gaps, so you can respond before incidents, fines or reputational damage hit. Whether you manage a single building or dozens, we help you stay ahead of obligations and protect people on every site.

Choose the Right Audit for Your Risk, Resources and Reach

Every site is different. We offer three levels of property risk audit, each to match your compliance needs, timeframes, and organisational visibility.
  1. Desktop Audit: A document-based review of your H&S risk controls, policies and reporting. Best for organisations needing a quick gap scan before board updates, tenders or SafePlus assessments.

  2. On-Site Assessment: A physical inspection of your site and safety controls. Ideal for identifying practical hazards, system blind spots, or gaps in contractor and maintenance activities.

  3. Full Audit: A deep-dive audit that combines document review, team interviews and a full on-site inspection. Maps your risk maturity, verifies legal coverage, and provides a walkthrough of gaps, controls and next steps.

A Proven Process for Managing Property Risk and Compliance

Whether you manage a single site or a national portfolio, our approach adapts to your assets, risk appetite, and legal responsibilities. We blend practical insight with regulatory alignment to give you the clarity to act.

Establish Scope & Risk Position
We start by understanding your properties, risk tolerance, and obligations, whether you're aiming for legislative minimums, strategic uplift, or ISO-level maturity.

Gap & Control Analysis
We map your current risk position, system maturity and control coverage across key areas, then identify what’s missing, under-applied, or misunderstood.

Reporting & Review
We deliver a prioritised risk and compliance report with evidence, recommendations, and a session to walk you through what matters most.

Risk Improvement Plan (Optional)
For clients who want implementation support, we build a tailored improvement plan based on your priorities, team capability, and timelines.

Ongoing Digital Support (Optional)
We can upload all findings into your own secure portal giving you access to status updates, recommendations, photos, and compliance documentation for audit defence or internal reporting.
