Quality Building Management

What Are Some Of The Issues Identified Upon Building Inspections?
Quality Building Management's Inspection reports typically categorise issues into two groups: Maintenance and Structural Faults.

1. Maintenance: Neglected maintenance can escalate into severe structural faults if not addressed promptly. Common examples include cracking walls and ceilings.

2. Structural Faults: Given our humid climate, rusting is one of the most prevalent structural issues we encounter. It can lead to significant deterioration of building elements and requires immediate attention. Rust in concrete structures, known as "concrete cancer," is particularly serious and demands swift action to prevent further damage to the building.

What Types Of Asbestos Are There?
Asbestos is a dangerous material. While it can help protect your home from noise, heat, cold weather, and fire, it has also been found to cause deadly damage to your lungs.

Asbestos is also linked to a rare but extremely deadly cancer of your chest and stomach lining, as well as other fatal diseases.

The Importance of Building Inspections Let's take a look at the importance of building inspections. We'll look at the process of inspections, what to look for and who to hire.

Can Safety Audits Reduce Risk?
Another compelling reason for prioritising regular safety reports is their role in reducing liability. In the unfortunate event of an accident or injury on the premises, building owners may face legal ramifications if they are shown to be negligent or non-compliant. By conducting proactive and regular safety reports and addressing and identifying risks promptly, building owners demonstrate due diligence and a commitment to providing a safe environment. This not only reduces the likelihood of legal disputes but also protects the reputation and integrity of the property.

Unlocking The Value Of Safety Audits
One of the key benefits of regular safety audits is their role in risk mitigation. Buildings are susceptible to a myriad of hazards, ranging from structural weaknesses to electrical faults, fire risks, and environmental dangers. Without regular assessments, these risks may go unnoticed until it's too late. Safety audits are a proactive measure designed to identify, prioritise, and address these risks, thereby minimising the likelihood of accidents, injuries, or property damage.

Furthermore, safety reports serve as a tool for continuous improvement. By regularly assessing the effectiveness of existing safety measures and protocols, building owners can identify areas for improvement and take the appropriate action. This process promotes a culture of safety consciousness and guarantees that safety protocols adapt alongside regulations and industry benchmarks that are constantly evolving.

Who Needs To Be Informed About An Asbestos Assessment?
Anyone who could be affected directly or indirectly by the presence of Asbestos should be informed of the assessment. This includes employees and neighbours. An asbestos-containing material (ACM) report should be prepared and also made available to:
- Asbestos removal contractors
- Anyone exposed to the deadly fibres
- Anyone who perform any type of work that could disturb the fibres

In the world of property ownership and management, ensuring the safety and well-being of occupants is crucial. Every building owner and building manager carries a significant responsibility to maintain a secure environment that safeguards the lives and health of those within. This goes beyond mere compliance with regulations; it requires proactive measures to identify and mitigate potential risks effectively.

This is where regular safety audits become an indispensable tool in a building owner's toolbox. Not only do they ensure compliance but they also provide peace of mind through the protection of your occupants and your property.

The Importance of Accurate Building Condition Data
Building Defects Assessment Reporting is a major undertaking and an important part of having a safe building.
Many organisations face the challenge of obtaining accurate data on current building and asset conditions through a building defects inspection.

Here's why accurate building condition data is essential:
✅ Lifecycle Costing
✅ Maintenance Scheduling
✅ Compliance Obligations
✅ Budgetary Submissions

With QBM, you'll have a solid foundation for future action and a record to measure change against. We tailor our reports to meet your needs and provide recommendations for rectifying any identified problems.

Fire-Resistant Materials: Essential For Building Safety
The use of fire-resistant materials is critical for limiting the spread of fire and providing occupants with enough time to evacuate the building. The Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 specifies the fire resistance requirements for building elements, including walls, floors, and ceilings.

Building elements must be constructed from fire-resistant materials, such as concrete, steel, or fire-rated gypsum board, and must have the required fire resistance level, as specified in the Australian Building Regulations. This ensures that the building will remain structurally stable and that fire will not spread quickly through the building, giving occupants time to evacuate.

Compliance with the Building Fire Safety Regulation does not have to be complicated. Contact Quality Building Management today to assist you with fire compliance.

Fire Emergency Plans That Apply To Buildings In Queensland
Fire regulations in Queensland are extensive. New work health and safety regulations were put in place back in 2011, covering many aspects of safety including Brisbane fire compliance.
During an emergency like a fire, you have little time to think. Being able to act quickly to get to safety is imperative. If you can't find your way out of a building easily, for example, this can spell trouble in just seconds!

In light of this fact, regulations state that any person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must have effective plans in place to manage a fire.
Furthermore, section 62 of the regulations states that a Body Corporate Manager is required to share a written report with the body corporate. It should detail what on your property needs fixing to be fire compliant, and what the plans are to repair these items within the next three months after the report has been issued.

The Health Risks Of Airborne Asbestos: Why Air Testing Is Essential
Disturbed asbestos can remain in the air for up to 72 hours. But even after it's settled, the slightest draft could cause the asbestos fibres to become airborne again. Being invisible to the naked eye makes them extremely dangerous.

Insulation that's deteriorated and crumbling construction materials are often two of the places you'll find asbestos lurking.

Airborne asbestos testing in Brisbane may be mandatory in certain circumstances and with good reason. Read on to find out why it's so important. https://qbm.com.au/the-health-risks-of-airborne-asbestos-why-air-testing-is-essential/

Is Your Workplace Protected from Hazardous Asbestos?
At Quality Building Management Australia, we provide comprehensive Asbestos Management Plans that establish short, medium, and long-term goals to control or remove asbestos.
Our AMPs involve four phases: identification, assessment, control, and monitoring, all performed by competent professionals while property managers are kept in the loop with every change and measure taken.
During the control phase, we ensure that appropriate signage is used to inform people within the vicinity of the building about the presence of asbestos.

While the monitoring phase may exist if the asbestos is not a threat, changes in the building and weathering conditions can cause asbestos to become fragile, leading to potential hazards. Trust us to keep your workplace safe!

An emergency management plan is a comprehensive document that outlines the procedures and protocols to be followed in the event of an emergency. It is essential for every building to have an emergency management plan to ensure the safety of the building occupants and minimise property damage.
