đź“‘ Understanding the Link Between Asset Surveys and Compliance Reporting

In facilities management, compliance isn’t optional—it’s legal, it’s auditable, and it’s tied directly to risk.

Yet too often, compliance reporting is treated as a separate stream from asset data.
đź“‹ You have a compliance tracker on one side…
đź“‚ And an outdated asset list on the other.

This disconnect?
It’s one of the biggest hidden risks in FM.


🔍 Why Asset Surveys Matter to Compliance

An asset survey isn’t just about knowing what’s in the building.
It’s about knowing which of those assets are:

  • 🔥 Statutory
  • đź’ˇ Mandatory
  • đź”§ Business-critical
  • 📆 On a scheduled maintenance regime
  • đź§ľ Covered by specific regulations (e.g. gas safety, LOLER, fire safety, SFG20)

đź§© Common Disconnects We See

  • Fire doors listed, but no evidence of inspection
  • Emergency lighting not tied to test dates or logbooks
  • Lifts missing condition grading (despite LOLER requirements)
  • Gas installations listed—no reference to CP42 or service history

When surveyed data doesn’t reflect compliance obligations, you’re left vulnerable in audits, insurance claims, and incident investigations.


âś… What a Compliance-Ready Survey Should Include

When we deliver a survey at AssetSurveyor, we make sure it supports your reporting obligations:

  • 📍 Clearly labelled statutory and mandatory assets
  • 🔄 Maintenance frequency linked to SFG20, HTMs, or site-specific PPMs
  • đź§ľ Output aligned with CAFM compliance modules
  • 🛑 Gaps flagged where assets lack documentation or service history
  • đź”— Integration-ready for fire risk assessments or condition reports

This turns your asset register into an active compliance tool—not just a list.


📉 What’s at Stake?

Without a compliance-linked asset survey, you risk:

  • ❌ Failed audits
  • 🔥 Incomplete fire strategies
  • đź’¸ Legal exposure or insurance issues
  • đź§© Gaps in lifecycle planning due to invisible risk

đź§­ Your Path to Clarity

The key is connecting asset management with compliance—not keeping them in silos.

That’s where we come in.
