What we inspect

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.

01 · BASELINE

Initial Asset Assessment

A detailed baseline inspection performed on every newly enrolled building. Reviews envelope, drainage, structural indicators, safety conditions, and general maintenance performance to identify both immediate risks and long-term needs.

CadenceOnce · at enrollment
02 · STABILIZATION

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.

CadenceAs required · per phase
03 · OVERSIGHT

Quarterly Sentinel Oversight

Structured inspections every quarter that monitor building systems, track deterioration patterns, and produce photo documentation, preventative recommendations, and clear reporting for the strata manager and council.

04 · RESPONSE

Asset Protection Response

Between scheduled inspections, Sentinel attends site as part of the Asset Protection Program, confirming what is happening, defining the right scope, and engaging the appropriate trades, engineers, or consultants.

05 · VERIFICATION

Post-Repair Verification

After repairs are completed, Sentinel verifies the work and documents outcomes, closing the loop in the building's record and protecting the strata corporation against future disputes.

Inspection coverage

The seven areas that prevent most building failures.

Every inspection (baseline, stabilization, or quarterly) works through the same seven areas where multi-family buildings most commonly deteriorate.

/01

Roof Systems

Membranes, flashing, drainage and penetrations.

/02

Water Management

Downspouts, drainage systems, grading and overflow paths.

/03

Building Envelope

Siding, sealants, penetrations and cladding transitions.

/04

Balconies & Railings

Structural movement, corrosion, waterproofing.

/05

Landscaping & Site Conditions

Settlement, irrigation leaks and root impacts.

/06

Mechanical & Electrical Exposure

Equipment protection, sprinkler failures, exposed wiring.

/07

General Exterior Safety

Lighting, trip hazards, vandalism damage and signage.
