The Services

Consultancy

This is both the core and most important component of Excitech's CAFM services. It includes system and database advice and set-up incorporating a full report and methodology document for discussion and
agreement prior to the commencement of any further required services.
CAFM Services consultancy may also define the current manual and digital data validation necessary for the correct implementation of your CAFM system, such as existing AutoCAD floor plans or existing asset registers.

Measured Surveying

Excitech database population services include measured surveying with automated conversion to AutoCAD and checkdimension surveying including vertical measurements for conversion to 3D. Surveying services enable the easy and accurate delimitation of GIA, NIA and core areas. The resultant AutoCAD drawings are a perfect style for easy room/department and structural delimitation.We use the
latest direct-to-digital on-site surveying methods, ensuring that the surveys are accurate prior to leaving the building.
Our surveying service includes asset surveying, furniture surveying and M/E surveying - all provided in AutoCAD format to standards for use in Archibus. Creating accurate graphical and alphanumeric
data from the outset is achieved through good measured surveying and space mapping, both of which Excitech value as core services on which most companies would not use their internal resources.

Database Population

Following consultancy and/or surveying we will have defined the space data parameters (tables, fields, data relationships and levels) the data collection and data entry phase can commence. Collection of space utilisation data (i.e. occupancy) can be particularly political; so Excitech, as an independent party, use sensitive ways to identify what space the different Lines of Business and Cost Centres occupy. Alternatively, Excitech can work from your space data and build upon this. Either way the objective is a good, accurate basis on which to start populating the database via graphical and alphanumeric means.

The implementation of Planned Preventative Maintenance and Help Desk solutions also requires the initial input of large amounts of existing and historical data which Excitech can fulfil.

Audits

Excitech offer various types of auditing; from annual CAFM systems and database audits provided as part of a full database population to one-off space audits that provide a full space portfolio containing
floor plans and required reports - detailed and summary - for your facility.
A one-off audit can also be useful to measure the data accuracy of your existing CAFM system.

Reporting

All reports are delivered in the form of bound A3 or A4 portfolios inclusive of reporting, methodology documentation and delimited floor plans; high quality for high level presentation.

Not only do our CAFM solutions and services meet the reporting criteria of many sections of ERIC, they also provide on-going management of NHS Trust Estates, from PPM and Help Desk, (including Condition Survey data management and reporting), to AutoCAD and database driven Space and Asset management for either simple cost analysis and strategy generating or move management involving key aspects of relocating people and assets.
