Commercial Property Inspection Software for Australia
Pre-lease condition reports, technical due diligence, make-good assessments, and ongoing WHS inspections for commercial property in Australia.
Commercial property inspection in Australia covers an enormous spectrum, from a quick pre-lease condition report on a small retail tenancy through to a multi-week technical due diligence on a logistics portfolio worth hundreds of millions. The constant across all of it is documentation. The pre-lease condition report decides the make-good bill years later. The technical due diligence sets the CapEx budget for the hold period. The annual WHS inspection records prove the landlord met their duty of care. InspectAndGo brings field-grade inspection tooling to all of these workflows.
Real-world challenges
What inspectors and asset owners in this sector deal with every day.
Make-good disputes are won and lost at lease commencement
A make-good clause can be six figures or seven. The single best protection is a thorough, dated, photo-rich condition report signed by both parties at lease commencement. Most disputes happen because that report does not exist or is too vague.
Technical due diligence on commercial assets is unforgiving
A buyer relies on the TDD report to model their CapEx forecast for 10 years. Missing a chiller end-of-life, a facade defect, or an unrecorded compliance issue can derail the financial case for the entire acquisition.
WHS duties are layered and easily missed
Commercial landlords are PCBUs under the Model WHS Act in most states. Common areas, shared services, plant, lifts, electrical mains, and access ways all need documented inspection regimes, and an undocumented inspection is no defence in a prosecution.
Compliance regimes vary state by state
NSW Annual Fire Safety Statement, Victoria Essential Safety Measures, Queensland fire occupancy compliance, disability access under the Premises Standards, every state has its own annual paperwork and every owner has to track every one of them.
Compliance frameworks we support

NSW Annual Fire Safety Statement and Victoria Essential Safety Measures, annual statements covering fire detection, sprinklers, hydrants, exits, emergency lighting.
Premises Standards 2010
Disability (Access to Premises. Buildings) Standards under the DDA. Triggered by new work and significant upgrades. AS 1428 covers technical detail.
AS/NZS 3666
Air-handling and water systems. Covers Legionella control for cooling towers, usually a state health department registration regime.
NABERS
National Australian Built Environment Rating System. Energy efficiency benchmarking that flows into commercial lease and acquisition decisions.
Retail and Commercial Leases Acts

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it for a quick pre-lease condition report?
+
Yes. The condition report template lets you walk a tenancy in 30 to 60 minutes, capture photos by area, mark pre-existing damage, and produce a dated signed PDF on the spot. Both landlord and tenant get a copy.
Does it handle full technical due diligence?
+
Yes. TDD templates are structured by building system and asset class, with CapEx forecasting fields, remaining useful life flags, and compliance checks. They are designed for a multi-day inspection by a team and a 10-year CapEx output for the buyer's financial model.
What about WHS inspections of common areas?
+
Recurring WHS inspection workflows are supported. You can define inspection frequencies per asset, get reminders when items are due, and maintain a complete photo and observation history that supports the landlord's duty of care under the Model WHS Act.
Can I run inspections across a property portfolio?
+
Yes. Business and Enterprise plans include multi-asset portfolio management. You can group buildings by region, asset manager, or owner, and pull dashboard-level reports across the portfolio.
Does it integrate with property management systems?
+
API access is included on Business and Enterprise plans. Custom integrations to common property and asset management platforms can be built using the API and webhook system.
