Write down what you know about the building.
Short records of what you know: the equipment it runs on, the envelope and the ground around it, what has happened to it and which documents exist, whether a replacement was sized properly, two quotes side by side, warranties, and what to ask for when buying. Each takes a few minutes and shows you what the published guidance says and what to ask.

These tools record what you already know about a building. They are not an inspection, an assessment or a valuation. Nothing here changes a Condition Profile: only building-specific evidence supplied through a governed assessment can do that. The Privacy Policy sets out what ICI keeps.
