3.2 REPORTING
Industry Practice: Our review has been undertaken in line with the RICS best practice guidance note on
Technical Due Diligence of Commercial & Industrial Property in Australia.
Orientation: References to the left- and right-hand side assume the reader is facing the element in
question.
Weather: The weather at the time of inspection was dry and sunny.
Limitations: Refer to the Attachments for our standard reporting Exclusions & Qualifications and
Terms & Conditions.
www.cbre.com.au
Configuration: There are two properties with multiple buildings further described as follows:
Age: The following has been extracted from the Napier & Blakeley TDD Report:
Refer to the RealServe plan attached to this report for Building reference numbers.
Comments: Certificates of Classification have been provided for most of the tenancy fitouts.
The base building Certificate of Classification dated 18th September 1990. This is
understood to be for the 2-storey C&K building (including the C&K and Inegia
tenancies).
Substructure The substructures were fully concealed at the time of inspection; however they are
understood to comprise of strip and pad footings together with a slab on ground.
Ground bearing reinforced concrete slabs are understood to be conventionally
reinforced.
No structural as-built documentation was provided to comment on structural elements
beyond the observations made on site.
Superstructure There are a variety of construction types for each building, however they generally
comprise of the following.
Building A1/3 (C&K) is predominantly a reinforced concrete framed structure
incorporating perimeter edge beams and band-beams between column locations. A
steel framed structure is provided above 1st floor slab level.
Building B (Dulux) appears to be a composite structure comprising of reinforced
concrete framing elements and loadbearing masonry.
Building C (Childcare Centre) incorporates two original Queensland heritage buildings
(Queenslanders) into a new development. The Queenslanders are timber framed whilst
the new development below incorporates timber framing, steel framing, and
loadbearing masonry.
Building A2 (Plan Build) appears to be a composite structure comprising of reinforced
concrete framing elements and loadbearing masonry.
Roof All buildings have profiled metal roof sheeting laid to fall to a mixture of valley, eaves
and box guttering. The sheeting is a mixture of profiles.
There was no access to any roof void to confirm the presence of sisalation and/or safety
mesh below roof sheeting.
Steel frame canopies are provided along the Gympie Street frontages and also to other
building areas internally within the site.
Roof access to Building A1/3 is via an access hatch accessed from the rear stairwell.
There are no walkways or anchor points provided, however there are plant platforms
which house various plant and equipment.
Building A2 includes a rear patio roof area which appears to be concrete paving tiles
over a screen with a membrane under.
There is no physical roof access to the other buildings.
Facades Façade treatments vary across the site, but include the following:
- Shop front window systems to ground floor areas and retail space,
- Window wall systems,
- Rendered and painted masonry,
- Painted brickwork,
- Weatherboards to the Queenslanders,
- Metal plant screens, and
- Fibre cement sheet lining which is painted.
Interiors Internal elements are commensurate with the use of the space and as expected for the
grade of asset. These are broadly outlined as follows.
Ceilings – predominantly suspended ceiling systems throughout all buildings comprising
either suspended ceiling tiles or flush painted plasterboard.
Walls – predominantly painted plasterboard or rendered masonry walls. There are
glazed partitions to some office areas and other tenant finishes.
Amenities are finished with floor and wall tiling and virtuous china fittings generally.
Kitchens and kitchenettes are tenant fitout items therefore excluded.
Base building doors are predominantly timber door sets in metal frames.
There are no common areas internally.
Externals The external areas comprise mainly of asphalt carparking with concrete kerbing and
linemarking for bays provided.
Crossovers from the main roads are reinforced concrete and the new Childcare Centre
is also of concrete construction.
Small nature strips / soft landscaping exists in select locations.
Fencing is provided in a number of areas:
- The childcare centre is fully fenced with timber paling fencing to the front and a
panelled fence system to the rear.
- The north boundary includes metal cyclone fencing and timber palings.
- Metal tubular fencing is provided around the childcare centre carpark.
There is an external blockwork store room along the northern boundary of the site (no
access was available to inspect internally).
A secure carport is provided which is steel framed and has roller door access along the
front elevation.
There are retaining structures which separate Building A1/3 and Building C; these
comprise of masonry construction.
Electrical: Power to the all buildings is via Low voltage cable connections to the pad mounted
transformer.
The Main Switch Board for each site is in the car park area near C&K.
Lighting is switched surface recessed fluorescent tube type fittings throughout. Office
lights are a combination of fluorescent tube fittings and LED downlights.
Emergency & Exit lighting comprise a single point system. Exit lights are provided with
Running Man symbols complying with current provisions of AS2293.
External lighting comprises wall mounted halogen flood lights.
Main building telephone distributor is in the office back of house with twisted pair cable
/ KRONE jumpable pair modules.
Tenant installed security systems are installed including alarm systems and CCTV.
Access control keypads are installed to the main entrance at the main entry doors each
office.
Fire: Smoke detectors installed throughout the buildings at main entry point and fire exists
which appear to be in line with AS1668.
Portable fire extinguishers are located throughout to suit base building and tenancy fit
out accordingly. Extinguishers are 4.5kg ABE dry powder type and have been tested
and tagged with the last test date as September 2018.
Fire hose reels are installed at locations near fire exits.
Hydraulics: Incoming water main supplies are fitted with control valves and water meters located at
the front of the site on Gympie Road.
Hot water provided by electric storage units fitted with Thermostatic regulating mixing
valves.
Sanitary fixtures and fittings within the amenities are with dual flush cisterns.
Sewer is discharged into the authority sewer mains and storm water drainage into the
authority mains.
Superstructure Based on those areas viewed, no significant movement was observed in the
superstructure load bearing elements which generally appear in sound condition.
It is recommended that the structural elements including structural frames, retaining
walls and exterior concrete elements be inspected biennially.
Roofs The roof over the main Building A1/3 (C&K) is in poor condition:
- The roof has recently been covered with a liquid applied paint product acting as
a membrane. It is understood the product is Dulux Metalshield.
- There has evidently been a history of water ingress and rust is clearly visible
from Nearmap imagery prior to the application; previous repairs have been
carried out.
- Poor flashing details are noted throughout where service penetrations do not
have a drypan flashing as required; they are relying completely on the sealant
around the penetration.
- There are numerous dents and other imperfections and no walkways are
present which would increase damage from foot traffic.
- The paint application is considered to be a very short-term temporary solution
and will likely lead to further problems. This is particularly true for the ridge
scribe break which has now been sealed and will prevent moisture from
escaping. Corrosion to this area will now accelerate.
- Lifecycle replacement is recommended to be budgeted for the short term.
- The plant platforms are in poor condition with significant corrosion noted.
Treatment and repairs are recommended.
The roof mounted AC units have had a metal clad enclosure constructed around the
ductwork. It is understood to have been constructed to manage leaking ductwork,
however this only hides a ductwork issue with is continuing to worsen. It is
recommended these be removed as part of the AC replacement works (refer to the
Mechanical section below).
There are a number of isolated roof leaks which require investigation and repair.
Note: roof access is near the roof edge and is highly unsafe. There are also areas of
plant and equipment adjacent to the roof edge without any side protection. It is
recommended that roof access be upgraded including the installation of walkways to air
conditioning units.
The balance of the roof areas appear in fair to good condition; increased R&M should
be budgeted for as the roof areas age.
Facades Façade elements generally appear in fair condition throughout with no major concerns
noted.
Gaskets are typically dislodging from the window frames to Building A1/3. These
should be reinstated to ensure the integrity of the glazing is intact and prevent water
entry.
Aluminium Composite Panels (ACPs) were noted as building signage installed to a
number of facades. The core colour appears to be black which suggests that the
material is a polyethylene (PE) product which is banned in a number of states in
Australia. However, as the signage does not extend above two storeys the legislation
does not apply. Furthermore, the signage is tenant fitout and therefore the tenants could
potentially be instructed to remove if required.
Cyclical redecoration will be needed throughout the reporting period
Building A2 (Planbuild) includes timber decking to the front and side elevations at 1st
floor. The decking requires an overhaul and treatment.
Minor water ingress/staining was noted to the awnings which should be repaired.
Interior Internal elements range from very good (new) to tired and dated (where older fitouts
exist).
Lifecycle replacement of certain fabric elements may be required for the reporting
period (ie ceilings, internal painting, carpet, etc). This may also include amenities some
of which appear tired and dated. An allowance has been for refurbishing these
elements within the reporting period, however the works are typically subject to the
timing of tenants’ lease expiries and make good obligations.
No allowance has been made for tenants’ fitouts.
Mechanical: There are hail-damaged rooftop package AC units serving Building A1/3 (C&K) which
are in poor condition and recommended for lifecycle replacement.
The platforms housing the roof top package units are rust effected as noted in the Roof
section above.
The AC package unit in the paint retailer “DULUX” has reached the end of if working
life cycle and is regularly failing. It is recommended for lifecycle replacement.
Refer to the air-conditioning schedule attached in the Appendices for a full list of air-
conditioning assets provided by the vendor. We have included our cost estimates and
estimated lifecycle against each item.
Electrical: The main electrical switchboard is original, and allowance should be made for a
technology upgrade in the medium term and the completion of a single line diagram
displayed in a weather proof frame adjacent to the board Immediately
The exit lighting appears in good condition generally however some areas require new
exit lighting where the old style fittings exist.
The remaining electrical infrastructure is considered to be in good visual condition with
no significant issues to note.
Fire: Statutory maintenance appears to be up to date with maintenance tags noted as being
current. However, no maintenance records were sighted.
It is understood the Annual Occupier’s Statement is dated 17th July 2017 to 16th July
2018 with no critical defects noted. However, the statement has not been sighted.
Lift: The lift is from the original construction and the original lift company no longer
manufactures OEM parts. As such the lift will require a major overhaul in the short to
medium term for control gear.
Building A1/3 Unsafe roof access Building A1/3 Poor condition of roof
Building A1/3 Inadequate flashings Building A1/3 Capping scribe break sealed
C&K tenancy – ceiling tiles have been replaced. Typical window gasket dislodgement
Our CAPEX forecast also includes deferred repairs and maintenance (R&M) items which ought to have been
carried out or should be planned for as a preventive measure. Routine repairs, maintenance and typical
operational costs associated with the normal occupation and management of the asset are excluded unless
otherwise stated.
Our costs are a present-day estimate for undertaking the works as a stand-alone project and do not include
the following (unless otherwise stated):

Parts of the building built in, covered up or otherwise made inaccessible during construction, alteration or
fitting out, have not been inspected. This generally relates to ceiling voids, wall cavities and service risers.
Therefore, we are unable to comment as to whether such elements are free from defect or infestation.
Areas or building components that are covered up or permanently enclosed will not be inspected. Where risks
exist in this regard, we will point these out and recommend opening up of the structure or fabric where this is
merited to inspect such areas.
We have not undertaken any work of a specific engineering nature, such as engineering calculations, structural
analysis, testing or measurements as the report reflects our interpretation of the condition of the building as
apparent from the inspection.
Building services have been visually inspected where exposed to view only. No internal inspections have been
undertaken of plant, equipment and machinery or where services are covered up or hidden by the building
structural element or finishes. Building services have not been tested and no design calculations have been
undertaken. If it is though that a specific service or building element requires further testing or inspection, we
will advise of this requirement. Further fees may be chargeable for these services if the visual inspection
identifies areas of concern that require further intrusive investigation.
The property has not been inspected specifically for termite infestation and we would only report on such if
termite evidence was apparent during our inspection.
Where a variety of multiple areas exist (e.g. tenancies, units, rooms, etc.), a random selection and sample of
each area will be inspected and used for the basis for this report. Those areas inspected will be deemed to be
representative of the balance.
We have not prepared an exhaustive list of those minor defects or imperfections thought not to have a material
bearing upon the proposed interest.
This report is not a certification, a warranty or guarantee and has been scoped in accordance with the
instructions given and the time allowed.
The scope of the report is described within the body of this proposal and disciplines not specifically mentioned
are excluded from this report.
The report has been prepared for the benefit of the instructing entity only. This report is not to be reproduced,
in whole or in part, without the express written authorisation of CBRE. The report may not be relied upon by
any third party.
No allowance has been made to provide vertical access equipment to allow for safe inspection of the roof. If
there is a requirement for vertical access equipment, the cost will be charged in addition to the agreed fee. A
15% surcharge will apply.
In regard to the services portion of this report, we have assumed that the services associated with the existing
internal fit out are the tenant’s responsibility and as such are not to be included within our review.
Within this report, unless otherwise stated, we have commented on the condition of the property at the time of
our inspection only, and we cannot guarantee that the property may be subject to damage or other adverse
event following our inspection.
Our investigation and report does not waive or relieve the project design team or contractor from their statutory
and design obligations under their respective contracts.
Where noted, timeframes relate to short-term (1-2 years), midterm (3-5 years) and long-term (6-10 years).
A balanced cost management plan involves immediately addressing safety risks and potential high-cost failures, such as critical roof replacements and facade repairs, with a budget allocation of around $344,000 within the first 1-2 years . Long-term budget considerations include cyclical painting and infrastructure overhauls, estimated at an additional $377,000 over ten years. Implement cost-monitoring measures regularly to adjust the plan according to emerging building conditions .
The short-term plan focuses on immediate high-risk issues, such as increasing structure stability and replacing faulty roof elements, with significant capital expenditure allocated to high-priority projects like the C&K Building's main roof (estimated at $285,000). Long-term planning suggests budgeting for lifecycle replacements of certain elements to avoid surges in future expenditures, such as the rear sunshade and paving replacement, ultimately distributing costs more efficiently over time .
The exclusion clauses, such as not conducting internal inspections for hidden services, prevent the full assessment of potential faults, potentially leading to oversight of significant structural issues. These limitations pose challenges of incomplete data resulting in unforeseen expenses. The report's reliance on visual inspections may also hinder thorough evaluations essential for long-term asset planning and client satisfaction .
A phased strategy could be applied: Initially, conduct biennial structure inspections to prevent unnoticed degradation . Short-term measures include addressing roof access safety and significant corrosion repairs to prevent immediate hazards. Medium-term strategies propose lifecycle replacements and façade repairs, such as sealing window gaskets. Maintaining operational integrity involves scheduling these improvements during low occupancy periods to minimize disruption .
Failure to address water ingress could lead to severe structural damage, mold growth, and health hazards, particularly impacting the building's northeast corner and ground floor areas. Additionally, unresolved subsidence and water-related deterioration in concrete paths could escalate to safety hazards and increased liability from trips and falls, requiring costlier structural interventions .
For the C&K Building's roof, immediate actions include upgrading unsafe roof access and treating corrosion on access walkways and platforms. Short term actions involve lifecycle replacement of the main upper roof due to poor condition, and repair of water ingress issues. For the facade, reinstate or replace window frame gaskets due to minor dislodgement .
Deferring maintenance on external painted elements may result in increased deterioration, necessitating a more costly overhaul in the future, estimated to rise from $30,000 to $50,000 for mid to long-term intervention . For the mechanical AC systems, postponing lifecycle replacement could lead to system failures, resulting in potential tenant discomfort and increased emergency repair costs, with specific units needing immediate replacement in 1-2 years .
Risk assessment identifies critical areas requiring immediate attention, like unsafe roof access which is classified as high risk, demanding urgent expenditure to prevent liabilities . Prioritizing capital expenditure based on risk ensures safety and reduces long-term costs by addressing components before they result in costly damage, guiding scheduled repairs in line with risk severity classifications .
Delaying updates to electrical systems, such as the main electrical switchboard, risks falling behind on safety and technology standards, potentially causing system inefficiencies and failures. Postponing mechanical AC system updates might lead to energy inefficiency, increased operational costs, and decreased tenant satisfaction due to potential breakdowns . Maintaining adherence to schedules is crucial to avoid regulatory breaches and to ensure operational safety and efficiency .
Monitoring lateral movement informs timely interventions, preventing severe structural degradation and unexpected costs. Proactively addressing detected movements through stabilization or repairs, budgeted at $20,000, ensures maintaining infrastructure integrity and resource allocation efficiency by forestalling major reconstruction needs .
