Free Property Inspection Round Checklist Template | FormLM

Run the periodic rounds the building depends on — plant rooms, corridors, roofs and hazards — ticked point by point with photos and a hand-off note.

Quick answer

Use it for the recurring building walk: plant rooms, corridors, roofs and hazards are ticked point by point with photos and a hand-off note, so a shift change does not lose the thread. It documents the round you actually did — any defect found still has to be logged, assigned and tracked to fix separately.

Disclaimer: routine visual rounds do not replace statutory inspections by licensed trades; flag what you see and route it.

Point list adapted from managed-property standard operating rounds.

About this template

A round nobody can prove did not happen. This checklist structures the scheduled property walk — plant and risers, common areas, lighting, fire doors, roofs and gutters, entry security, damp and pest signs — each point ticked normal / attention / action-needed with a photo for anything flagged, ending in a hand-off note for the person on tomorrow's shift. Audits become exports, not archaeology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why fix the point order?
Because comparable rounds reveal drift — point six has never shown a lamp failure since the new contract, says more than today's all-green.
Is a phone good enough to photograph?
Wide lens plus a date line beats a notebook memory; the photo slot forces the timestamp into the system.
What counts as action-needed?
Anything you would not leave for a guest or tenant to find: unsafe, unsecured or water where it should not be.
Can staff skip the hand-off note?
The note is the hand-off — skipping it recreates the morning phone tree it exists to replace.
How long between rounds?
Follow the service schedule; weekly for staffed property, monthly for remote managed blocks, and the export proves either.
Who sees the history?
Managers and boards on summary; full photo sets stay with operations under your retention rule.
