Essential Safety Measures
Essential Safety Measures (ESM) include the fire, life safety and health items installed or constructed in a building to ensure adequate levels of fire safety and protection over the life of a building.
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 an owner of a building, you are responsible for its ongoing maintenance, and you have an obligation to ensure that any essential safety measure continues to perform at the same level of operation that existed when it was first commissioned. This means that regular inspections are required, and accurate records are held on the property.
Building owners must ensure that an Annual Essential Safety Measures Report (AESMR) is prepared each year under regulation 1208. You must also keep records of all maintenance checks and repair works carried out, so a Municipal Building Surveyor or Chief Officer of the Fire Brigade can inspect them at any time.
Non-compliance may result in a considerable fine with the possibility of legal proceedings against you and your company.

Comments From Our Clients
Very helpful and friendly staff. Home inspection report delivered quickly and very easy to understand
From start to finish, SPI were great. I had a highly qualified former architect inspect my property. He was quick to provide a preliminary opinion and provided a shortly after the inspection. Working towards a tight deadline, it was refreshing to have a building inspector that was able to work quickly, was able to communicate clearly and cost effective.
THANK YOU. Your service and prompt responses to all my emails/questions/text messages and your support? - well I CANNOT THANK YOU enough. I made several enquiries with various other Professional Property Inspectors and yes they all answered my enquiries but SPI answered 1st during the new year holiday break when I needed to engage an Inspector as a matter of urgency. To anybody reading this review, this is an honest review. If you choose SPI, you have chosen the right people. I knew it from the get-go. THANK YOU once again!
It was a great experience to choose SPI as building inspection . They can arrange inspection within short period of time and professional. Their sales coordinator was also very prompt to reply any question and arrangement . Great service !
A client recommended SPI, having used them for previous commercial inspections. I contacted SPI to do an inspection on a commercial property so I could be confident before ‘signing on the dotted line’. Was impressed by the quick turnaround (the inspection was booked for the next day) and how thorough the inspection was. Our inspector was happy to answer all of our questions. The report came through quickly which I was very happy about. I feel it gave me peace of mind. I would be happy to recommend SPI and will use them again in the future’.
