Join us as we explore the benefits of implementing the FOUNDATION Solution and discover how it empowers organizations to streamline data collection, generate comprehensive reports, and produce actionable insights, so facility managers and capital planners can make informed decisions to optimize assets and improve buildings and grounds for occupants.
Conducting facility condition assessments can be daunting, as they require thorough inspections and detailed reports. Organizations must evaluate various aspects, including structural integrity, mechanical systems, electrical components, plumbing, and architectural conditions.
In addition, many organizations must complete these assessments within a year, ensuring accuracy for subsequent inspections and generating comprehensive reports to support effective long-term decision-making. The traditional approach often results in time-consuming assessments, inconsistent data collection, and limited reporting capabilities.
Intellis solves these problems with The FOUNDATION Solution, robust software that improves and simplifies Facility Condition Assessment and Facility Capital Planning. Intellis developed the FOUNDATION Solution to address organizations' challenges when conducting these vital assessments.
The platform empowered inspectors to gather assessment data efficiently using mobile devices. The software incorporated reference information, intuitive logic, and algorithms to guide inspectors during data collection. It also calculated crucial data points, such as the remaining useful life of facility components.
Intellis also delivered a device provisioning application for seamless data transfer between the server and more than 45 field devices, and a quality assurance application to ensure data accuracy. By leveraging mobile data collection and advanced reporting capabilities, FOUNDATION streamlines the facility condition assessment process, delivering efficient and accurate results.
Powerful Software for Improving Operations, Mitigating Risk, and Enabling Justifiable Capital Plans
The solution enables organizations to collect extensive data accurately and efficiently, ensuring a solid foundation for future assessments. The platform incorporates intuitive logic and built-in algorithms to guide inspectors during data collection, ensuring consistent, reliable results.
FOUNDATION's integrated system allows organizations to gain actionable insights into their assets. It provides a condition-based rating system that assigns numerical values to buildings and components, highlighting existing deficiencies, recommended maintenance requirements, and long-term capital planning needs. This information empowers organizations to prioritize repairs and make data-driven decisions.
The FOUNDATION platform enables organizations to assign numerical values from 1 to 5 for each building and component. This rating system provides insights into existing deficiencies, recommended maintenance requirements, and long-term capital planning needs.
One of FOUNDATION's standout features is its robust reporting capabilities. Organizations can generate comprehensive reports that provide detailed visual condition surveys, engineering assessments, remaining useful life of components, repair versus replacement recommendations, and cost estimates. These reports support effective decision-making and facilitate the development of capital improvement plans.
Organizations significantly optimize the facility condition assessment by implementing FOUNDATION. Inspections can be conducted more quickly while ensuring accurate and reliable data collection. The streamlined workflow and efficient reporting save time and resources, enabling organizations to promptly address critical maintenance and improvement needs.
FOUNDATION empowers organizations to make informed decisions about Facility Condition Assessment and Capital Plan Investments by streamlining data collection, generating comprehensive reporting, and delivering actionable insights. With efficient inspections, accurate data collection, and robust reporting capabilities, organizations can prioritize repairs, plan for long-term improvements, and optimize operations.
