🏢 Real World Risks

Independent Compliance Assessments for High-Rise and Strata Assets

Flaws and gaps. One breach. One denied claim.

We reveal the risks before a tenant, insurer, or regulator does.

What We Do

Real World Risks delivers independent, ISO 31000–aligned compliance assessments for high-rise, strata, and commercial buildings.

We don’t sell systems or products — we deliver verifiable, evidence-based reports that uncover:

• Structural and procedural vulnerabilities

• Maintenance and safety failures

• Governance and legal compliance gaps

• Exposure under key statutory obligations

Our clients include owners corporations, property managers, legal counsel, insurers, and strata committees seeking to reduce liability and prove defensible compliance.

Legislative Compliance Coverage

We assess compliance against key statutory frameworks, including:

• Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) – Section 106

• Work Health and Safety Act 2011 – Section 20(2): Safe means of entry and exit

• Corporations Act 2001 – Governance and risk obligations

• ISO 31000 – International risk management standards

• CPTED – Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

• ESG-aligned asset management principles

The EPA™ Framework

Evidence. Proof. Accountability.

Our proprietary EPA™ model ensures every finding is:

• Evidence-based – Supported by real-world site observations

• Proof-driven – Mapped directly to legal duties and standards

• Accountable – Presented in board-ready reports suitable for governance, insurance, or NCAT defence

This framework transforms vague risk into clear, defensible action.

Why Compliance Matters

Compliance is no longer red tape — it’s a performance metric.

Recent market data from CBRE, JLL, WTW, and Knight Frank shows that certified, compliance-verified buildings consistently:

• Lease faster and retain higher-value tenants

• Achieve stronger rent positions and occupancy rates

• Attract ESG-conscious investors and reduce risk exposure

• Withstand scrutiny from insurers, regulators, and legal proceedings

In today’s market, tenants lease on proof — not promises.

How It Works

Step 1: On-Site Walkthrough
We assess lighting, stairwells, basements, entry/exit points, and shared spaces to identify physical and procedural exposures.

Step 2: Compliance Mapping
All observations are benchmarked against ISO 31000 and relevant legislation, including WHS, strata, and governance duties.

Step 3: EPA™ Compliance Report
You receive a clear, structured report linking each issue to a legal duty, risk level, and recommended control.

Step 4: Independent Referrals
Where remediation is needed, we refer you to licensed professionals — maintaining full independence and zero conflict of interest.

Our Mission

• Support safer, more resilient buildings through governance-grade reporting

We make compliance visible, defensible, and profitable.

Real Evidence. Real Compliance. Real World Risks.

Protect your asset. Prove your compliance. Lease smarter.

In commercial buildings, complacency doesn’t look like chaos it looks like a swipe card left on a Cleaners Trolley.

This footage captures multiple cleaning contractors leaving access cards unsecured across several companies. Each card is an open door to unauthorised entry, theft, or data compromise. What begins as convenience ends as liability.

Under the WHS Act 2011 (NSW) and Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), duty holders must ensure systems for access control are not just installed but actively maintained and supervised. A single unattended card can expose Owners Corporations, strata managers, and tenants to cyber threats, theft, litigation and insurance denial.

Complacency is the quietest breach. It happens when “that’ll do” replaces “who’s accountable.”

Real World Risks identifies where those lapses occur before an insurer, regulator, or intruder does.

In 2025 Complacency at its peak and tenants pay the price Video footage don’t lie.

Cleaning staff left swipe cards and a mobile phone unattended on a trolley, granting uncontrolled access to multiple companies within the building. This incident shows a critical lapse in procedural control, exposing tenants and management to potential unauthorized entry, data compromise, and liability—a clear example of complacency over compliance. Don’t assume your building is immune. Complacency creates opportunity. I’d welcome the chance to walk your site in 2025—before someone else does
