Your renovation deserves a pilot
Works Audit

Report & recommendations

An audit is only as good as its reporting. Performance BTP delivers a clear, prioritised and costed report: your roadmap to decide and act, without needless jargon.

RAPPORT Safety Structurel Confort Aesthetics Costed budget A clear, prioritised roadmap

From technical to decision

The report translates findings into clear, illustrated, localised language. Each point is explained, its severity stated, its solution outlined. The aim: that you know exactly where you stand and what to do, without needing to be an expert yourself.

Priorities, not an endless list

Not everything is urgent. The report ranks the work: safety (imperative), structural (to anticipate), comfort, cosmetic (deferrable). This hierarchy lets you spread works according to budget, without taking risks or overspending on the inessential.

A realistic, negotiable budget

Each item is costed against the real Paris-region market, in honest ranges. You know where the money goes and where trade-offs are possible. It is this costing that gives you leverage against quotes and, where relevant, at purchase.

A report structured in 4 priority levels

We use a clear, universal colour-coded system inspired by professional AMO standards. Level 1 — Safety: non-negotiable works to be carried out before any occupation (dangerous electrical installation, structural collapse risk, friable asbestos, CO presence). Level 2 — Structural: issues that, if not addressed promptly, generate exponential costs (infiltrations, active cracks, failing load-bearing floor). Level 3 — Comfort: works improving quality of life and property value (insulation, VMC, heating). Level 4 — Aesthetic: finishes, decoration, modernisation — deferrable according to budget.

Figures that make the difference

Across 80+ audits carried out in the Greater Paris area, our experience allows us to establish reliable price ranges per work item. Each estimate is based on real IDF market rates for 2025-2026, cross-referenced with quotes received by our clients. These ranges are deliberately broad (±15%) to reflect reality: tiling at €40/m² or €150/m² is a question of material quality, not an error in the quote. You know what to expect, without being misled.

The report as a negotiation tool

The report does not just inform — it helps you negotiate. Presented to a seller, it justifies a price reduction proportional to the identified works. Presented to several contractors, it allows comparing quotes on an identical basis. Presented to a bank, it lends credibility to your renovation financing file. Our investor clients systematically use the report as a negotiation lever: on average, they recover 2 to 3 times the cost of the audit through savings on the purchase price or contractor quotes.

📍 Real-world example

For an investor renovating a rental property in the Paris region, the audit report ranked the works in four levels and costed each. He could immediately launch safety works and rental essentials, and defer non-blocking cosmetics. Result: faster letting, preserved cash flow.

Performance BTP tip

A good audit report passes a simple test: after reading it, do you know what to do, in what order, and for what budget? If yes, it has done its job. If you're still in the dark, demand better.
