VALUE FOR MONEY INVESTMENT: 

THE PLAN:
Ensuring integrity and extending asset life in order to maintain building performance so to maintain maximum re-sale value.
THE CHALLENGE:
The challenge is to determine how existing and aging structures can be managed to provide higher service levels at a lower cost. 

EXECUTION: 

We support this through accurate and meaningful asset information captured in a systematic and consistent manner.
STRATEGY:
We use a hierarchical system of three levels of inspections:
Level 1 routine maintenance inspection – a visual inspection to check the general serviceability and safety of the structure.
Level 2 condition inspection – an inspection to visually assess and rate the condition of a structure including all components (as a basis for assessing the effectiveness of past maintenance treatments, identifying current maintenance needs, modelling, and forecasting future changes in condition and to identify any significant damage or defects requiring urgent repair or replacement.
Level 3 detailed engineering inspections and analysis – investigations intended to provide improved knowledge of the condition, load carrying capacity, in-service performance and other characteristics that are beyond the scope of Level 1 and level 2 inspections.
As part of a level 2 inspection, structural elements are rated individually on a visual basis on a scale of 1 to 4. E 

RATING                 CONDITION STATE  MEANING 

1 New or good         New or good.
2 Minor defects        May require maintenance or monitoring to prevent further problems.

3 Moderate defects   Will require major maintenance or repairs to prevent further deterioration to condition state 4.
4 Severe Defects       Beyond repair and should be replaced.
