conditierapporten

Conditierapporten, or the condition report, is a formal document that records the current physical state of an asset, such as a building or major equipment, at a defined point in time. It is typically prepared by an inspector or other qualified professional and used to document defects, wear, and the general condition of components such as structure, roof, exterior, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, and interiors. The report provides a baseline for maintenance planning, risk assessment, insurance purposes, and decisions related to purchases, leases, or disposals.

Contents usually include: basic asset data (address, age, construction type); an executive summary; detailed condition assessments by component and area; condition ratings or grading; supporting photographs and diagrams; a list of identified defects, their risk level, and recommended corrective actions with priority and rough cost estimates; and appendices with measurement data and historical information.

Methodology: inspections are typically visual, sometimes complemented by non-destructive testing or measurements. Ratings may use a 1–5 scale or category labels (good, satisfactory, needs attention, poor). The report should note limitations, scope, and date.

Uses and impact: in property transactions, a conditierapport informs buyers and tenants about expected maintenance needs and potential capital expenditures. In asset management, it supports maintenance planning and budgeting. It may also underpin insurance claims or warranty assessments.

Limitations: the assessment reflects conditions at inspection time and may miss latent defects; updates or re-inspections are common as conditions change.
