Compliance services FAQs
Is a switchboard inspection a legal requirement?
There is no single fixed legal interval for every building, but regular inspection is strongly recommended. We suggest at least every two years, and many insurers and auditors expect evidence of it.
How often should safety switches be tested?
Push-button tests every six months, plus an operating-time test with an RCD tester every two years for residential buildings, or every 12 months for commercial buildings.
Can you manage all our compliance in one visit?
Where the schedules line up, yes. We often combine RCD testing, emergency lighting, test and tag and inspections to reduce visits and disruption.
What do we receive after an inspection?
A written report with findings, photos and priority ratings, test records, updated logbooks where relevant, and fixed-price quotes for any repairs.
Do you work with strata managers?
Yes. We work with strata and building managers every week, coordinating access, notices to residents and approvals for repairs.
Do landlords need compliance checks?
Yes. Rental homes need safety switches on power point circuits and compliant smoke alarms. We can check, fix and document both.
