Overview

Ongoing Due Diligence and Asset Assessment Across Retail Facilities

BSE is engaged by Woolworths to deliver ongoing due diligence audits and investigations across multiple store locations throughout Queensland, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory.

These audits provide an understanding of the condition, compliance, and remaining life of existing building services and roofing systems, supporting informed planning for maintenance, upgrades, and future works across the portfolio.

The scope includes visual inspections and technical reviews of mechanical, electrical, fire protection, hydraulic, and vertical transportation systems, along with assessment of roof and waterproofing performance. Each assessment is supported by reporting that identifies observed conditions, risks, and recommended remediation actions.

Our Role

Multi-Disciplinary Audits and Engineering Support

BSE delivers multi-disciplinary audits across building services systems, providing clear, actionable outputs to support asset management and operational planning.

In addition to audit activities, BSE supports engineering design, documentation, and delivery for selected new build and refurbishment projects across the Woolworths portfolio, enabling continuity between assessment and implementation of upgrades.

Outcomes

Supporting Asset Management and Portfolio Planning

The audit programme provides Woolworths with visibility of building services condition and lifecycle across multiple sites, enabling prioritisation of maintenance and upgrade works.

Consistent assessment and reporting support planning for compliance, performance improvement, and ongoing operation of retail facilities.

The ongoing engagement contributes to improved performance and reliability across the portfolio, supporting operational requirements and broader sustainability objectives.

Beyond the audit programme, BSE has delivered building services engineering, due diligence, asset condition assessment, and refurbishment support across a broad portfolio of Woolworths supermarkets, Metro stores, and logistics facilities.

This work has included building services design, mechanical and HVAC engineering, electrical condition assessments, renewal feasibility studies, fire services reviews, and long-term condition reporting.

The broader portfolio demonstrates BSE’s capability in supporting the ongoing operation, renewal, and optimisation of large-format retail assets through coordinated asset management and upgrade planning.
