Structural Certification, Inspection of Awnings, Awning Rectification Works
Installation of New Awnings & Removal of Awnings - Is What We Do Well.
As the property owner you are responsible for the structural adequacy of the building and any other structure attached. Property owners are legally liable for damage caused by their property not being properly maintained and Councils are enforcing the law in respect of awnings. Awnings should be regularly inspected as part of normal building maintenance in any case
Awnings are part of the buildings to which they are attached and are the responsibility of the owner of the building, even when an awning is located over a public footpath. The Roads Act 1993 clarifies in section 142(1) the responsibility for awnings over roads (including footpaths) by requiring that a person having a right to control the structure must maintain it in a satisfactory state of repair.
In the absence of regular maintenance or repair, it may pose a real risk to public safety. Following several deaths caused by collapsed awnings it is imperative that you engage a structural engineer to carry out a safety inspection of the awning.
