Asset and Condition Surveys
Asset and Condition surveys have in the past not delivered to some organisations the results they expected. The key issue in undertaking an asset or condition survey, is "will a full survey or a defects assessment deliver the right result?".
These surveys can cost up to a million dollars. By example one client took 6 months to survey 6 buildings. The survey methodology was based on identification of every aspect of the asset i.e. walls, floors, roof, ceiling, plant and equipment to extraordinary detail. Senior management asked could we complete the remaining 50 buildings in 12 weeks to meet their reporting deadline. We used the client's own staff and the result was a full survey of each building in line with the required maintenance standards and a 5 year funding plan on time.
The plan was successful not only in meeting the deadline, the properties unit also received a substantial increase in funding to meet major areas of need. In short our approach is "KIS" (keep it simple).

Scope of Service
Full Dilapidation Survey
We can provide a complete survey methodology and team for all assets covering, buildings, plant, life cycles, replacements, BCA, and OH&S compliance.

Low cost Desk Top Assessment
The "Desk Top" approach is a low cost alternative methodology using existing knowledge, predicted life cycles and collecting the data for forward projections.

In-House Training
We train your staff to conduct the condition assessments using our methodology. This is a low cost alternative to using external resources and ensures your staff can regularly update the maintenance plan.

Value Added benefits

• Identification of BCA and OH&S risks that needed immediate attention
• The Desk top approach completed a major maintenance plan in less than 8 weeks for under $50,000 compared to a previous full survey that cost $1m plus
• The in-house training approach saved one client over $250,000 by using existing staff for a fee of less than $20,000.
