Who this article is for

Searching for buildings
At the top of the Research section, you’ll see a search bar.
You can search by:
Building address, or
Strata plan (SP) number
Only strata buildings appear in search results. Standalone houses won’t be shown.

When you select a building from the results, you’ll be taken to that building’s building profile.
The building profile
The building profile is the main place where you review information about a building.
Across the top of the profile, you may see tabs such as:
Overview
Building Snapshot
Expert Insights (sometimes shown as “Expert Report” in the app)
My Apartments (owners only)

Each tab shows a different view of the same building.
Overview
The Overview tab gives you a high-level summary of the building.
This is where you’ll typically see:
The Building Health Score
A summary of building performance
Key building details and features
Recent building activity
Building Snapshot
The Building Snapshot shows key facts and characteristics about the building, such as:
Age and size
Number of units and floors
Shared facilities and features
This helps you quickly understand what kind of building you’re looking at.
Expert Insights
The Expert Insights section provides deeper analysis to help you understand risks, patterns, and areas that may need closer attention.
Expert Insights are optional and can be accessed when you need more context beyond the Health Score.
(In some parts of the app, this section may still appear as “Expert Report”.)
Tracking buildings you’re researching
The Research section also keeps track of buildings you’ve already viewed.
This makes it easy to:
Return to buildings later
Compare multiple buildings
See whether Health Scores or Expert Insights are in progress or complete

Research vs Apartments
Research and Apartments serve different purposes in Cohabit:
Research is where you explore and understand buildings
Apartments is where owners manage apartments they’re connected to
If you’re an owner, you may see a My Apartments tab within a building profile. This relates to ownership and apartment management, not building research.
