Five inspection types. One continuous building record.
Every Sentinel inspection feeds the same building record, from the first baseline through quarterly oversight to post-repair verification. Nothing gets re-discovered. Nothing gets lost between councils, managers, or inspection cycles.
Initial Asset Assessment
A comprehensive baseline inspection of every newly enrolled building. Reviews envelope, drainage, structural indicators, safety conditions, and general maintenance performance. The output is a clear technical understanding of where the building stands today and what needs attention first.
Stabilization Inspections
Follow-up inspections during the stabilization phase to verify that critical maintenance gaps are being closed and the building is being brought to Sentinel operating standard. This phase eliminates the most immediate risks before the property enters ongoing oversight.
Quarterly Sentinel Oversight
Structured inspections every quarter that monitor building systems, track deterioration patterns, and produce photo documentation with preventative recommendations and clear reporting for building stakeholders. Conditions are compared against prior quarters, not discovered fresh.
Asset Protection Response
Between scheduled inspections, Sentinel attends site as part of the Asset Protection Program. We confirm what is happening, define the right scope, and engage the appropriate trades, engineers, or consultants before the problem escalates or emergency pricing takes hold.
Post-Repair Verification
After repairs are completed, Sentinel verifies the work against the original scope and documents outcomes. This closes the loop in the building's record and protects the building owner against future disputes about whether work was completed properly.
The seven areas that prevent most building failures.
These are the building systems that historically cause the majority of failures and insurance claims. Every inspection (baseline, stabilization, or quarterly) works through all seven.
Roof Systems
Membranes, flashing, drainage, and penetrations. The system most commonly behind catastrophic water damage.
Water Management
Downspouts, drainage systems, grading, and overflow paths. Most building failures start with water going where it shouldn't.
Building Envelope
Siding, sealants, penetrations, and cladding transitions. The primary barrier between the weather and the structure.
Balconies & Railings
Structural movement, corrosion, waterproofing, and guard integrity.
Landscaping & Site Conditions
Settlement, irrigation leaks, root impacts, and grade changes that direct water toward the building.
Mechanical & Electrical Exposure
Equipment protection, sprinkler system condition, and exposed service vulnerabilities.
General Exterior Safety
Lighting, trip hazards, vandalism damage, signage, and common-area condition.
Property Intelligence Loading
Deterioration is inevitable.
Surprise is not.
Start with a single Initial Asset Assessment on one building. See what structured oversight looks like before you commit to anything else. No obligation to proceed further.
