Fully digital survey systems for property
Abstract
Realistic digital data entry and data handling is the key to unlocking the power of modern computer tools for all forms of building management functions. A survey system is needed to get the vital data about property collected and entered into any management database. Three discrete usage areas for computer technology are identified: data collection, manipulation and presentation. The key differences between the various types of building survey are outlined. The conceptual and actual challenges in each survey system area are explored. Past problems and mistakes in applying technology are discussed. Innovative automated, efficient, and integrated solutions are suggested. A new multi‐media and completely digital approach is recommended for applying new computer‐based tools to all kinds of property inspection. The future tools for super‐efficient building surveys in the next century are considered and predicted.
