FAQ

Common Questions

When must a condominium performance audit be done?

The audit of the common elements must be performed between 6 and 10 months after the condominium's registration, and submitted to Tarion with the Performance Audit Tracking Sheet (PATS) before the end of the 12th month. Missing this window can forfeit warranty coverage worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Who can perform a performance audit in Ontario?

The performance auditor must hold a Certificate of Authorization under the Professional Engineers Act or a Certificate of Practice under the Architects Act. HexoTech holds a PEO Certificate of Authorization and has been Tarion's pre-approved and preferred engineering consultant for six consecutive years.

What does the performance audit cover?

All major common elements: building envelope (roof, walls, windows, balconies), the underground parking garage and structure, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, fire protection and life safety, interior common areas, plus a review of as-built drawings and a unit-owner deficiency survey.

What happens after the audit is submitted?

The builder has an 18-month repair period from the first anniversary of registration to address items on the PATS. We follow up through that period, review the builder's repairs, and support the corporation through conciliation if disputes arise.

Why does the choice of auditor matter?

The audit is your corporation's single best opportunity to have construction deficiencies repaired at the builder's cost. A thorough, well-documented audit — with deficiencies tied to the Ontario Building Code and Tarion's warranty categories — is the difference between items being acknowledged and repaired, or denied.
