(B1) Structural Audit

The general health and performance of a building depends on its quality of maintenance. As a building grows old, ageing, use (or misuse) and exposure to the environment can affect the health of the building significantly. Therefore, it is advisable to monitor it periodically by taking a professional opinion. Structural Audit is a preliminary technical survey of a building to assess its general health as a civil engineering structure. It is usually initiated as the first step for repair. This is similar to the periodic health checkup recommended for older people. Model byelaw no. 77 specifies Structural Audit as a mandatory (necessary and binding) requirement. It stipulates that if the age of a building is 15 to 30 years, Structural Audit must be carried out once in 5 years and for buildings older than 30 years it should be carried out once in 3 years. You may, however, go for it even earlier if you suspect the condition of your building to be bad.

(B2) The Purpose of Structural Audit is

• To save LIFE & PROPERTY.
• To know the health of your building and to project the expected future life.
• Highlight the critical areas that need to be attended with immediate effect.
• To pro actively assist the residents and the society to understand the seriousness of the problems and the urgency required to attend the same.
• To comply with Municipal or any other statutory requirements.

• Useful for loan application to bank, useful for insurance claim.

• Easier to convince, to get co-operation and fund from members.
• To produce if required by registrar or BMC or ant other Govt. Dept.
• Helps contractors to understand the exact nature of distress before touching the structure for repairs, so chances of increasing the work/cost is minimum.
• Even members can visualize the extent of repairs during work and can experience
• Cost effective solutions and specifications will give full justice to your contributed amount. (Every single rupee of yours would be put to good use)
• It has remedial measures. • Estimated repair cost priorities are taken care.

Yes, this is going to be costly; but human lives are important and they need to be saved at any cost.
