This paper examines many aspects of structural auditing, including visual examination, non-destructive testing, core sample, and testing. It also emphasises various building repairs and retrofitting procedures that should be employed after a structural audit. As the structure matures, it need frequent maintenance and inspection in order to avoid further damage. The health and performance of a building are dependent on its maintenance quality. In order to protect the structure from environmental effects, it should be monitored on a regular basis by a professional. As a result, a structure audit is performed to assess the overall health of the building. A structure audit is a preliminary technical survey performed on a structure to recommend repair solutions.
