Building Risk Review Overview
A clear starting point for insurance, liability, and risk decisions

When insurance pressure, renewal scrutiny, or liability questions arise, many building owners and managers are unsure whether a Building Risk Review is actually required  or what it would involve.

This Building Risk Review Overview explains the purpose, scope, and limitations of the review so decision-makers can determine relevance before committing to any assessment.


What This Overview Helps You Understand:

  • When a Building Risk Review is appropriate
    Common trigger points such as insurance renewal pressure, insurer questions, or governance concerns.
  • What the review does — and does not do
    Clear boundaries to avoid over- or under-scoping.
  • How ESM, OH&S, and insurance risk intersect
    And why independently audited maintenance matters.
  • What decisions the review typically supports
    Including prioritisation, next steps, and insurer discussions.
This overview is suitable for strata, commercial, and care-sector buildings with independently audited Essential Safety Measures (ESM) maintenance.

How the Building Risk Review Process Typically Starts

  • Step 1: Review the Building Risk Review Overview to understand when the assessment is appropriate and what it covers (and doesn’t).
  • Step 2:  If relevant, have a short scoping discussion to confirm eligibility, timing, and context.
  • Step 3: Receive a clear proposal outlining scope, cost, and next steps — only if the review is appropriate.

Why Building Risk Clarity Matters

✔ Supports insurance and renewal discussions by providing a structured, evidence-based view of building risk.
✔ Helps owners and managers prioritise action based on risk impact rather than assumption.
✔ Reduces uncertainty around governance and liability by documenting oversight and decision-making.
