Two different documents for two different jobs. Here is when you need each.

WhenRegularly, and when circumstances change.At design, refurbishment, or where documentation is missing.

Do I need both?

Often, yes. A strategy documents the intended design and management. An assessment checks how the building performs in practice. Each supports the other.
