Buildingweb has extensive experience assisting organizations through the implementation process of integrating building condition information, related budgets, and other documentation into our platform. Fees for these services are customized for each client. Additional consulting services can include any of the following:
BCA/PCA Selection Process: We do not perform building condition audits or property condition assessments. We can help manage the auditing process by coordinating with experienced local engineers who know your market, know your buildings, and know the local economy. This includes writing the RFP (request for proposal) to maximize the experience of the engineers to identify and populate the database, inviting qualified bidders, and overseeing the implementation process. The result is more cost-effective building audits and more support for your local businesses.
Develop and Implement New Methodologies: The "master reference" section is designed to capture component-specific methodologies and guidelines that need to be made available across the building stock. This allows for consistent project repair approaches and alternatives. Buildingweb can work with you to establish these corporate guidelines and standard methodologies.
Configure Buildingweb: We will configure Buildingweb to be ready for your consultants and staff to use. This can include setting up building 'templates' and portfolios. Establishing the 'templates' for each building type can further guide your staff and outside consultants to provide consistent descriptions, recommendations, and budgets.
Database Population: We have experienced engineers and programmers that can perform the database population from existing databases or audit reports. The ideal situation is to have the BCA consultant to populate the database for you.
Application Customization: We are software developers and have extensive experience in developing client-specific customizations and integrating our database with others.
"With the growing number of pressures put on Municipalities such as City growth, aging infrastructure, and reduced funding, the need to focus our limited resources where it will have the most impact has been a critical part of our strategic direction. Buildingweb has helped provide needed visibility into our capital planning and is assisting us to better define our short and long term priorities."
