The Condominium Act and the New Home Warranty Program (formerly Tarion) require a
performance audit inspection of the common elements of the building, and at least one unit of every new
condominium built in Ontario. The purpose of the Performance Audit is to assure that
any major problems in the common elements of the condo will be found before the end of the
one year time frame for submitting a warranty claim under the Ontario New Home Warranty Program.
The
performance audit report includes an inspection of the common elements e.g. the foundations, exterior walls, roof,
doors, elevators, parking garages, and a survey of unit owners asking them to report damage to their units that
may have been a result of defects in the common elements.
The building and site elements are covered under the Warranty Program for specific conditions. The program has
specific dead-lines, and requires written notification regarding warrantable defects within
the deadlines:
|
 |
First Year - Warranty, which covers general deficiencies, building code incompatibilities and design deficiencies
|
|
|
First Two Years - Coverage for water penetration into the building envelope, health violations, safety
violations and mechanical systems problems
|
|
|
First Seven Years - Coverage for major structural defects

As a complementary service of the
performance audit report, Ben Engineering will also provide the
condominium with ongoing support, to ensure that the deficiencies are either being repaired by
the builder or being paid for by the ONHWP (within the limits of the Program).
