Detailed – Building Evaluation Report (BER)
Detailed – Building Evaluation Report (BER)
(5+ years out from the year of construction)
Description:
- On-site assessment for condition of assets over the next five years
- Customer-specific short- and long-term requirements
- Direct alignment with what is actually installed and constructed
- Detailed deficiency requirements
- Includes all building systems
- Includes full set of standard reports and FCI
- Full set of reports for 5-year window
Value:
- Short term, actionable understanding of customer assets for capital planning and project execution
- Deepest insights into deferred maintenance, near-term planned maintenance, long-term expected renewals, and capital improvements
Methodology
Inspection and Evaluation
Step 1
To provide a complete and thorough multidiscipline inspection and evaluation of all building systems listed in Uniformat II (interior, exterior, and grounds). AHT personnel are qualified in most of GSA recommended software for documentation and uploading deficiency related data generated through the walkthrough and in-depth inspections. BER teams typically include professional and experienced architects, mechanical engineers, & electrical engineer and IT professionals.
Web-based – Building Engineering Report
Step 2
AHT provides complete Level 4 Web-based – Building Engineering Report (Web-BER) complete with building & system descriptions, system analysis, current conditions, information on state of repair, recommended improvements, cost estimates and photographs which will enable the client to plan and budget work required to maintain the satisfactory operation and appearance of the building.
Analysis and Comparison
Step 3
AHT will perform an analysis and compare the requirements (deficiencies) generated by the BER assessment and by completing the basic building survey. Our team will compare the actual requirements generated and ensure they produce comparable results. AHT will compare the type of requirement selected to repair the deficiency, review the estimated cost generated by each assessment method down to the line item level, and identify any areas of the building that one assessment method addressed and another did not. We will report to include the following four major areas:
- Compare the overall total dollars liability produced by the basic level 1 survey as percentage of the liability produced by the BER
- Identify sources of potential R&A liabilities in a facility currently not covered by the basic survey questioner, but shown in the BER.
- Examine cost generated by each tool to repair or replace the same building component or system to gauge the adequacy of the cost models used by the basic survey tool to generate cost estimates.
- Provide recommendations for possible future national implementation of basic level 1 survey and enhancements to the survey questioner, as well as, cost models with the objective of improving the overall survey accuracy in defining the scope of work required in a facility and the associated cost estimate.
