Facility AuditMate offers a series of carefully integrated, well-thought-out
features to guide you quickly and accurately through your facility audit.
Project Management
Facility AuditMate now allows you to add specific project information. Building deficiencies
such as ADA code violations and modernization needs can be included into the AuditMate
database. Information gathered from a facility condition needs assessment will compliment
the medium and long term planning capability already available in AuditMate.
Making Your Point with Pictures
Facility AuditMate been designed to make adding photographs and CAD drawings part of your
record. As long as they are in digital form-images that are scanned or photographed with a
digital camera, as well as drawings produced by CAD programs-you can access them easily
through Facility AuditMate, where they will always be linked to the relevant facilities data.
Facility AuditMate incorporates a viewer for .dwg, .jpg, and .bmp files. Linking files
to relevant components and subsystems is simple. You don't have to create a special Facility
AuditMate folder for your images, but simply create links to their location on your hard drive
or anywhere on your network.
Extensive Look-Up Libraries
Facility AuditMate guides you through the process of gathering and entering your building
data. Each of the 13 industry-standard categories in the classification system used to
identify a building's components is itself subdivided into a series of related subclasses.
This comprehensive system makes it easy to analyze your building's features and reduces the
chance of your forgetting to include a building component.
Virtually Instantaneous Results
Once you've completed this initial audit, you can sit back and let Facility AuditMate do
the work. Your data is automatically correlated with unit costs and predicted life spans to
provide a detailed assessment of deferred maintenance costs and facility renewal needs.
Once the initial data entry is completed, you have only to enter data on new construction
or renovations to keep Facility AuditMate up to date.
Easy-to-Understand Reports and Graphs
All this data means little unless it is presented in a form that is readily understood by
policy makers. Facility AuditMate shines here too. Using Facility AuditMate's powerful
built-in reports and graphs,
- you can graph deferred cost projections for all your facilities on a year-by-year
basis,
- summarize replacement values,
- summarize deferred totals,
- summarize the facility condition index for individual buildings and the entire plant,
and
- take a detailed look at deferred costs of single components.
Facility AuditMate reports can be used to justify your budget requests and are sure to play
an important role in your institution's capital expenditure planning process
