The brief

A complex problem,
made actionable.

The City required a consistent audit methodology across 119 buildings with different uses, scales, construction types and operational priorities. The programme needed to capture building condition, infrastructure and asset information in a form that remained comparable across the portfolio and could support future maintenance, risk and renewal decisions.

RealBuilt’s role

  • Portfolio audit methodology and mobilisation
  • Building condition and infrastructure inspections
  • Asset identity, attribute and location capture
  • Defect and renewal observations
  • Photographic evidence, data QA and handover

What mattered

The issues behind
the headline.

01

A standard field methodology was essential to make condition information comparable across diverse building types.

02

Asset identity, taxonomy and functional location needed to remain aligned throughout collection and quality review.

03

Immediate defects, maintenance needs and lifecycle renewals required distinct treatment within the audit structure.

Our response

Structure first.
Then momentum.

01

Standardise the field method

Applied a repeatable inspection and data-capture structure across the 119-building portfolio while retaining space for asset-specific judgement.

02

Capture evidence at source

Connected asset records, condition observations, defects and photographs to their relevant building and functional location during the site audit.

03

Build quality into handover

Used structured review and data-quality checks to improve consistency, completeness and future usability of the portfolio information.

The deliverables

Technical substance,
clearly packaged.

The programme provided the City with a structured portfolio evidence base linking buildings, infrastructure, assets and observed condition to support ongoing maintenance, risk review and forward renewal planning.
