web development :: facility / building management systems
AllenBuild (South West) asked us to develop a system to help them manage "defects liability periods" associated with a number of building and renovation projects. The system is used by the site liaison officers to manage maintenance tasks reported by the site occupants during the "defects liability periods", reducing the amount of money held by the client in the form of retentions. This often represents a large proportion of the contract profit and the business has seen a significant increase in profitability as a result.
The system was designed for
desktop / laptop computers as well as PDAs. These mobile devices allow the liaison officers to assign tasks to sub-contractors whilst
on the road as they travel from one site to another. this has proved invaluable as AllenBuild (South West) cover the London and spen a
large amount of time on the road.
The system was re-developed based upon a small repairs system developed for the New Millennium Experience (The Greenwich Dome), which was used to report ad-hoc maintenance issues. The system allows users to log issues, recording the location, nature of fault and priority. This is then picked up by the facility management team and assigned to the appropriate individual / sub-contractor. The tradesman can then print off the details, attend site, before reporting back to the system. Throughout the tasks life-time, both the facility management team and person who reported the issue can view its progress.
tailor made solutions for building and facility management teams
The system can be tailored to meet your specific requirements, including soft / hard charging, health & safety (permits to work, method statements, risk assessments) and management reporting. Additional modules can be added onto the system for planned preventative maintenance, asset management and operating and maintenance manuals.
