--- title: Apartment Building Technical Audit for HOAs | Nemoinspekt description: Technical audit of apartment buildings for HOAs and cooperatives from CZK 12,900. Basis for warranty claims against the developer or a 5–10 year repair plan. url: "https://www.nemoinspekt.cz/en/apartment-building-audit" type: static generatedAt: "2026-06-16T15:12:16.652Z" --- For HOAs and apartment buildings # Do you know the real technical condition of your apartment building? As an HOA (owners' association) chair or property manager, you are responsible for the condition of the building. A technical audit helps you uncover defects in time and plan repairs. For new builds still under warranty, you get a basis for claiming defects against the developer. [No-obligation consultation](#poptat) [730 193 333](tel:+420730193333) 100+ defects we typically document CZK 512,000 average HOA saving 50+ buildings we audit every year ![Apartment building technical audit, inspection of common areas](/_astro/svj-bytovy-dum.C_TLJIeM_2ahdt9.webp) - ### Certified property inspectors Our inspectors are experienced professionals, engineers and architects with many years of practice. - ### 1000+ apartment buildings Since 2012 we have inspected more than 1000 apartment buildings, both new builds and older construction. - ### Detailed inspection report The output of the inspection is a detailed property inspection report in PDF with photo documentation. - ### 100% Satisfaction guarantee We work so that every client leaves satisfied. Happy client reviews, 4.8 out of 5. - ### Your warranty period is coming to an end. The warranty period is usually 5 years from final approval, with some defects covered for up to 10 years. While it runs, the developer pays for repairs. Once it expires, the HOA pays from the repair fund. An audit is the last window to make use of this opportunity. - ### You are drawing up a 5-to-10-year repair plan. An audit sets priorities: what to address now, what to postpone, and how much to set aside each month into the fund. The plan is defensible before the owners' assembly and is based on numbers, not on a contractor's guesses. - ### You are planning insulation, window replacement, or a refit of the utility systems. Before you let a contractor into the building, we verify the actual condition of the structures. We prevent unnecessary spending on poorly diagnosed defects, and we stop insulation from hiding problems that should have been fixed beforehand. - ### You are changing the committee or the building manager. You need an objective picture of the building's condition, independent of what the previous committee or contractor said. The audit serves as a technical basis on which you build your strategy for the next term. ![A new-build apartment building before the end of the developer's warranty period](/_astro/novy-dum.pRVF4yV6_GJ1q3.webp) Before the warranty ends ### A list of defects to claim against the developer For HOAs in new builds approaching the end of the warranty period (usually within 5 years of final approval).

The review covered all common parts of 2 large buildings, including the underground garages and selected balconies and terraces. The defects found were written up in a comprehensive report with photo documentation. To close it out, we also carried out an on-site review with the developer when checking the repairs that had been done. - ![HOA apartment buildings in Horní Měcholupy, inspection before the end of warranty](/_astro/svj-v-hornich-mecholupech.B_IHVGa1_NNnsH.webp) Before the warranty ends ### HOA in Horní Měcholupy For two HOAs in Horní Měcholupy we carried out an inspection of two apartment buildings before the end of warranty. We found defects on the roof and in the interior, for example cracks in the render caused by the structures drying out. The most serious defects, however, were in the garages, where moisture and salts were causing layers of concrete covering the reinforcement to fall away. We prepared a report with photo documentation, and even though there was not much time to carry out the audit, the HOAs managed to file all the claims on time. - ![Care home for seniors, Prague 9, technical audit before the end of warranty](/_astro/dum-pro-seniory-praha-9.BtsN5Ewt_ZN9uvV.webp) Before the warranty ends ### Care home for seniors, Prague 9 For a private company we carried out a technical audit of the property before the end of warranty in February 2025. We mainly checked the common areas of all 3 buildings and several loggias. The defects found were relatively minor, such as cracks in the render caused by the structures deforming, and cracked sealing between the tiling and the ceramic ceiling. The report with photo documentation was used as the basis for submitting claims. - ![HOA Matějská apartment building, Prague, inspection and repair plan](/_astro/svj-matejska-praha.BlbFqNbp_28hIk.webp) Current structural and technical condition ### HOA Matějská, Prague For an HOA on Matějská Street in Prague we carried out an inspection of all common parts of the building, including the roof and selected loggias. Based on the findings, we wrote up a report including documentation and indicative repair costs. We then prepared a repair plan for the next 10 years. - ![HOA Vinohradská apartment building, Prague 10, inspection of an older building](/_astro/svj-vinohradska-praha.QDYrmqN5_wvkic.webp) Current structural and technical condition ### HOA Vinohradská, Prague In February 2025 we carried out an inspection of an older apartment building on Vinohradská Street in Prague 10. The most serious defects were found on the terraces on the 5th floor and on the balconies, where the tiling was loose and there was a risk of water seeping into the apartments below, and also the windows, which will certainly need to be refurbished. All the defects found were written up in a clear report and ordered by repair priority in the repair plan. - ![HOA apartment building in Prague's Libeň district, comprehensive technical audit](/_astro/svj-v-praze-libni.CxAK_9N5_13PRy7.webp) Current structural and technical condition ### HOA in Prague, Libeň For an HOA in Libeň we carried out a comprehensive technical audit of all common parts of the property, including identifying the cause of mould around the windows. The mould appeared mainly in rooms stacked above one another in a corner of the building on the 2nd and 3rd floors. This corner is cooled from the outside, the interior is under-heated and under-ventilated, so the internal moisture condenses on the walls and mould forms. On top of that, the render on the building is significantly damaged, with a risk of it falling and endangering passers-by. The owners received a thorough report from us with photo documentation and indicative repair costs. ![](/_astro/ref-bd-01.DTFBjD9x_1Ty5nm.webp) HOA U Uranie, Prague 7, 27 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-02.O7WOylw-_Z21HWjI.webp) HOA Formánkova, Hradec Králové, 42 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-03.D769RR3e_Z1CiRcj.webp) HOA Vrbátky, 6 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-04.CPOPuNs-_ZONbuN.webp) HOA Kobrova, Prague 5, 50 residential units, technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty ![](/_astro/ref-bd-05.Cj5YApYz_Z1IIyz0.webp) Housing cooperative Fügnerova, Beroun, 6 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-06.CTJtx1gg_VVcAs.webp) HOA Na Vinici, Pardubice, 100 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-07.grVQxBVP_Z1vk8UV.webp) Housing cooperative Na Šibeníku, Olomouc, 18 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-08.COHLrqW2_Z26sesg.webp) HOA Konšelská, Prague 8, 52 residential units, technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty ![](/_astro/ref-bd-09.Kv6e7Vks_kxm6d.webp) HOA Na Rokytce, Prague 8, 38 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-10.gG0Rxgv5_29iKA8.webp) HOA Kurandové, Prague 5, 110 residential units, technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty ![](/_astro/ref-bd-11.BZHBbYX4_Z2f5Rdb.webp) HOA Lucinková, Hostavice, 9 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-12.B-6DKvxp_Z1AfMBI.webp) HOA Kubelíkova, Hradec Králové, 34 residential units, technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty ![](/_astro/ref-bd-13.BynkTSxO_1v5MvK.webp) HOA Chudenice, 6 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-14.BJmfhSZ3_Z2ebNAG.webp) HOA Topolová, Olomouc, 35 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-15.8taAPHDH_1nKtcn.webp) HOA Waltrovka C4, 5, 9 residential units (family houses), technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty ![](/_astro/ref-bd-16.BF9dWMmu_1mOMcd.webp) HOA Moskevská, Prague 10, 11 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-17.DdGCPyg3_Z1KewgU.webp) HOA Na Ovčinách, Prague 7, 20 residential units, current structural and technical condition and repair plan ![](/_astro/ref-bd-18.B7P6O16F_1leOzh.webp) HOA Zahálka G and F, Mezi Vodami, Prague 12, 239 residential units, technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty ![](/_astro/ref-bd-19.DjI7V72N_ZC6VJV.webp) HOA V Zákoutí, Kutná Hora, 18 residential units, technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty ![](/_astro/ref-bd-20.Cgm1WIf__1PtAQG.webp) HOA Waltrovka E9, 10 residential units, technical audit of a new build before the end of warranty 01 / 20 1. 01 „Why spend tens of thousands from the fund when the building looks fine to us?" An audit finds, on average, defects worth CZK 200,000 to CZK 2,000,000. For new builds, the developer is obliged to fix most of them under warranty. For older buildings, you save on the renovation by not doing unnecessary work. In both cases, the investment in the audit pays for itself many times over. 1. 02 „Can't we leave it until next year?" The developer's warranty period is usually 3 to 5 years from final approval. Once the warranty expires, the HOA pays for repairs from the repair fund. What is covered by the warranty today, you pay for out of your own pocket a year from now. 1. 03 „Isn't this just one engineer's subjective opinion?" The report is prepared by an authorized engineer (ČKAIT) and goes through a four-eyes check by a senior inspector. The output holds up as a basis for a claim against the developer and for discussions before the assembly. The HOA's decisions rest on facts, not on a contractor's guess. > "As an HOA we chose Nemoinspekt based on references and a perfectly prepared sample report on the condition of the building and the repair plan. Inspector Bárta is the right man for the job." > "Thanks to the final report we now have a thorough assessment of the building's technical condition. It lets us plan and manage repairs in line with our long-term plan." > "The architect from Nemoinspekt saved our HOA CZK 500,000. The roof everyone told us was at the end of its life just had a badly installed drip edge." 01 / 03 [Read all reviews →](/en/references?segment=bytovy-dum) - What is an apartment building technical audit? A technical audit is a comprehensive assessment of the structural and technical condition of an apartment building. An authorized inspector checks all common areas, the roof, the facade, the utility risers, lifts, balconies, garages, and cellars. The output is a detailed report with photo documentation, a repair cost estimate, and a maintenance plan. - When is the best time to order an audit? The ideal time is before the developer’s warranty expires (usually 5 years from final approval, with some defects covered up to 10 years). Defects found can then be claimed and the developer must repair them at their own cost. An audit is also worthwhile before a planned renovation or as the basis for drawing up a repair plan. - How long does the detailed on-site survey take? The on-site survey itself takes 1 to 3 days depending on the size and complexity of the building. Preparing the detailed report with photo documentation then takes roughly 10 working days. The whole process, from order to delivery of the report, usually takes 3 to 4 weeks. - Can we use the report for a warranty claim against the developer? Yes, the report from the on-site technical survey is a full-fledged basis for a warranty claim. It contains detailed photo documentation, a description of the defects found, and their classification. The report is prepared by an authorized civil engineer, so it carries the appropriate professional weight even for potential court proceedings. - Do we need the owners' assembly to approve it? It depends on the HOA (owners’ association) statutes. Usually a decision by the HOA committee is enough, because this counts as routine management of the building. To be safe, we recommend informing the owners in advance. The on-site survey is in everyone’s interest and its cost is negligible compared with the potential savings. - Do you operate outside Prague? Yes, we have 30+ inspectors across the Czech Republic and operate in all 14 regions. An inspector from your region will get back to you within 15 minutes during working hours after you submit an enquiry. We charge travel at a rate of CZK 10/km. - ![Sousedé.cz](/_astro/sousede.DZHsSP54_Z5C0qF.webp) - ![Okolobytu.cz](/_astro/okolobytu.3ZuQ0qub_Z19c82U.webp) ## Don't pay for repairs the developer should cover.
