Car park condition audit software
Multi-level car parks deteriorate in ways other buildings do not: chloride-laden water dripping off cars corrodes reinforcement in the slabs, expansion joints fail and leak onto the deck below, line marking wears off, and barriers take repeated impacts. A car park audit records each level’s slab, joints, drainage, barriers, signage and lighting so the facility manager can budget repairs before a spall becomes a structural problem.
Built for facility managers running teams of roughly 3–50 inspectors.
Sample Car park audit report
An illustrative excerpt. The site, readings and findings are fictional; the layout is yours to set.
Car park audit report
Level P2 — slab and joints
- Site
- Fictional Plaza car park, 400 bays
- Levels
- P1–P4 and roof deck
- Inspected
- 27 April 2026
| Location | Observation | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Bay 214–220 soffit | Rust staining and cracking along bar line | Priority: High |
| Expansion joint EJ-2 | Seal torn over 6 m; active leak to P3 | Priority: High |
| Ramp P2–P3 wheel stops | 3 of 12 loose or missing | Priority: Medium |
| Floor drains, west bay | Clear and flowing | Priority: Pass |
Fields captured on site
Your firm builds the form in-app, so these are a starting point rather than a fixed schema. Every field is captured on the device, with or without signal, and lands in the car park audit report where your template puts it.
Per level
- Level
- Bay range
- Slab type
- Waterproofing or coating present
- Ponding observed
Per defect
- Bay or grid location
- Element (slab, soffit, joint, drain, barrier, wheel stop, line marking)
- Defect type
- Extent
- Priority
- Photo
Recommendations
- Further testing needed
- Repair method
- Cost estimate
Standards the report works to
- AS/NZS 2890.1Parking facilities — Off-street car parking
- Context for findings on bay dimensions, ramp grades, headroom and wheel stops.
- AS 3600Concrete structures
- Design basis for concrete cover and durability, which most slab corrosion findings come back to.
Load the standards you hold into your reference library and the drafted prose is written against them rather than against a general model.
How the car park audit report gets built
Capture it once, offline
Your firm builds the car park condition audit form in-app — 25 field types, nesting repeatable groups, compound AND/OR visibility rules, reusable modules and calculated fields. Field capture works with no signal: jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio all queue in an idempotent outbox that only clears once the server confirms receipt.
Link it to your buildings, levels and tenancies
Enter buildings, levels and tenancies once, as a register. Every one of your elements, defects and cost lines then points at a stored row rather than a name somebody typed — and the links survive a disconnected device.
Render your own template
The car park audit report renders into the Word template you already use — your letterhead, your section order, your clause library — with conditionals, loops over repeats, composable sub-templates and photo grids.
Reviewed before it leaves
You write the review framework: a checklist of what a car park audit report must contain, plus the prose standards you would mark a junior against. Link it to a report template and it runs every time that template renders. Each finding comes back graded info, minor or major, quoting the sentence at fault, and a person accepts or dismisses every one.
Because the structured submission behind the report is held too, the review is a comparison rather than a proofread: The narrative calls the roof "fair"; the element register grades it C with a twelve-month cost line against it.
Checks a commercial property framework usually carries
- Every graded defect carries a cost band and a priority
- The make-good schedule and the narrative describe the same condition
- Access and DDA non-compliances cite the clause they fail
- Every photo referenced in the text exists and is captioned
Questions
- Can defects be logged by bay number?
- Yes. Location is a field on each defect, and levels can be held as a register so every defect on P2 is grouped together in the report.
- Do underground levels with no reception cause problems?
- No. The form, photos and notes are captured offline and uploaded when the inspector is back above ground.
- Can the report recommend further testing rather than a repair?
- Yes. Recommendation type is a field, so a defect can be marked for half-cell or chloride testing and the report lists those separately from repairs ready to scope.
What this is not
Worth knowing before you book a demo, so neither of us wastes the half hour.
- Not field-service dispatch. No timesheets, no parts, no inventory. Scheduling exists to get an inspector to a site.
- No signature capture. If your deliverable has to carry a signed sign-off on the artefact itself, this is not the tool yet.
- Field capture is what works offline — jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio. Reports, chat, scheduling and the inbox need a connection.
- No client portal. Reports go out as a file or a password-protected link.
