ReviveCheck method
Eight systems, one checklist, one score
Revive's inspection team rates every item in eight property systems against a fixed checklist, photographs what it finds and flags safety hazards on the spot.

The items listed are representative of the checklist, not the full list. A system the property does not have, such as Soft & Hard Landscaping where there is no garden or landscaped area, is marked Not applicable.
The scoreThe Property Health Score
The Property Health Score
One figure from 0 to 100 that tells an owner how the property is doing, with a rating for each of the eight systems.
It is not an opinion. Every point is traceable to a photographed, risk-rated finding, and the score is never shown without the findings behind it. Only applicable systems are included in each property's assessment.
Rating bands
- Excellent
- Good
- Attention required
- Poor
- Critical
Numeric thresholds for each band are set by the Revive scoring methodology.
How findings are prioritised
- Immediate
Safety risk. Made safe on the day, ahead of any commercial step.
- Urgent
Affects habitability, or the item is likely to fail soon.
- Medium
Deteriorating. Best done before it becomes costly.
- Routine
Cosmetic or wear. Can be grouped with planned maintenance.
Priority shows relative importance only, not a deadline. Timings belong in the quotation or work order.
Demonstration data. It does not describe any real property.
System H is marked Not applicable and left out. The overall score is calculated over the seven applicable systems only, so the apartment is neither penalised nor credited for landscaping it does not have. The report says which systems counted.
Not applicable
What the score is, and is not
A snapshot that becomes a trend
The score is a snapshot of assessed condition. Re-inspection on the same checklist turns snapshots into a trend, and the trend tells an owner whether the property is being looked after.
Not a valuation or a promise
The score reflects assessed condition. It is not a property valuation, a structural certificate or a statutory certification, and Revive does not quote savings percentages. What it gives the owner is a documented baseline and repairs done in the right order.
