Essential Safety Measures (ESM) Inspections Melbourne
Essential Safety Measures (ESM) include the fire, life safety and health items installed within a building to ensure ongoing safety, performance and regulatory compliance throughout its life.
SPI Property Inspections partners with fire services auditors and technicians to provide a comprehensive range of monitoring services to ensure you meet ESM compliance requirements.
As a building owner, you are responsible for the ongoing maintenance of all essential safety measures and must ensure they continue to perform to the standard required at the time of installation. This requires regular inspections, routine servicing, and accurate record keeping.
Under Regulation 1208, building owners must ensure that an Annual Essential Safety Measures Report (AESMR) is prepared each year. Records of all maintenance, inspections and repair works must also be maintained and made available for review by a Municipal Building Surveyor or the Chief Officer of the Fire Brigade upon request.
Failure to comply with ESM obligations may result in significant fines and potential legal action against both the owner and the responsible entity.

Contacted George to do a building inspection as he came highly recommended by a friend. He was able to get out there the next day and provided the report promptly without any hassles at all. Would not hesitate to recommend George and SPI inspections if you're after great service and a thorough inspection report.Posted on Google![]()

We had a great experience with SPI throughout our house construction. Frank was incredibly helpful and took the time to answer all of our questions, making the entire inspection process easy to understand. I highly recommend SPI for building inspections. While builders do their best, it's always worthwhile to have an independent inspection for added confidence. It gave us real peace of mind knowing that our home was built safely and to a high standard.Posted on Google![]()

We engaged SPI Property Inspections to carry out a final inspection for us. Frank did a very thorough job and picked up a number of things that would have otherwise not been found and we would have been left to fix ourselves after the sale was completed. Very happy we went with this company and had the inspection undertaken. Definitely worth the minor cost compared to what it would have cost us to have the repairs done!
