Service and Maintenance Enquiry
What is a Building Warrant of Fitness (BWoF)?
Wormald is able to assist in sourcing the BWoF for your building, as required by law through your local Council. A BWoF is an annual statement that confirms specified systems such as sprinkler and alarms systems in your building have been maintained and checked for the previous 12 months.
It ensures that the specified systems in your building are maintained, inspected and reported on. Not only is this a legal requirement but it provides reassurance to your building occupants, customers, visitors and community that your building’s safety systems are up to standard.
The compliance schedule lists the specified systems operating in a particular building, and the building warrant of fitness is an assurance that the specified systems have been inspected and maintained, and are continuing to operate as installed. A current copy of the BWoF (form 12) must be displayed publicly in the building, and another copy must be sent to the Council each year on the anniversary date for the building warrant of fitness.
The BWoF must be renewed by the building owner annually on the anniversary date. Once satisfied that the specified systems have been maintained as per the compliance schedule, the independent qualified person (IQP) supplies an annual certificate (Form 12a) for the system to the building owner. These must be attached to the BWoF.
Wormald has an experienced team of staff that are qualified as an IQP and can carry out these inspections for you.
