Every building,
understood.
Most buildings in public and private portfolios have no reliable record of what is there or what condition it is in. StructSense captures the whole facility digitally, builds a measured model from it and runs a Rapid25 condition assessment on that model. You learn what it would cost to fix, what to maintain each year and where the first rand should go.
You cannot plan maintenance on a building nobody has measured.
Drawings go missing, services are altered and nobody can say with confidence how many square metres a facility has. On one regional hospital the floor area was estimated at 100 000 m² before appointment. The scan measured 68 460 m².
Without a measured record, every design starts by re-measuring and every maintenance plan starts from nothing. With one, the same data serves the engineers, the asset register and the budget.
Four steps, one data set
The same four steps apply to one city building or a provincial portfolio.
Capture
Survey control on the national grid, a drone survey with LiDAR and oblique imagery, and walk-through scanning of every room. Ceiling voids, plant rooms, service basements and buried services are in scope from day one.
Model
The point cloud is modelled in Revit at shell-and-core level: walls, floors, roofs, openings and rooms. That gives measured floor plans, room schedules and engineering layouts without paying to model every fitting.
Assess
Rapid25 splits each functional area into 25 building elements. Each element carries a share of the replacement cost and receives a condition score. Scores roll up, weighted by cost and area, to the building, the facility and the portfolio.
Decide
You receive the replacement cost, the maintenance backlog, a recommended annual maintenance budget, a ranked fix-first list and a 20-year replacement forecast. Detailed assessment then goes only to the buildings you will fund.
One data set, many uses
Assess everything quickly. Assess in detail only what you will fix.
A detailed condition assessment of a whole portfolio is expensive, and most of it describes buildings that will not be funded for years.
The whole portfolio, ranked
Rapid25 costs about a fifth of a detailed assessment and covers every building, so priorities rest on evidence from all of them.
Detailed work where it counts
Structural, services and conversion studies go to the buildings in the next budget, and lead straight to design and tender.
Figures you can budget with
Rapid25 values are parametric estimates for budgeting and prioritisation, accurate to about ±30 %.
What each step supports
Capture, assess, decide and report from one data set.
| Standard | What it asks for | How StructSense meets it |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 19650Information management using BIM | One structured model of site and buildings, one naming system | Capture and model sit in one shared data store, with files and sheets named to ISO 19650 and asset data structured to Uniclass 2015 |
| GRAP 17Property, plant and equipment | Asset register with replacement cost, fair value and useful life | Replacement cost, depreciated replacement cost and useful life per element, from measured areas and condition scores |
| GIAMAGovernment Immovable Asset Management Act | User and custodian asset management plans with condition and budget needs | Condition, backlog, annual maintenance budget and priorities as plan inputs |
| ISO 55000Asset management | Decisions based on evidence about asset condition, risk and value | Criticality and condition ranking, 20-year replacement forecast |
| SANS 10400National Building Regulations | Defects measured against the regulations | Covered in the detailed assessment of priority buildings, not in Rapid25 |
