A coded register
Every window identified by building, floor and elevation, so the same reference carries through survey, tender, works and completion.
For estates
Window asset registers for estates, schools and universities
Know the condition of every window you are responsible for, from a single building to a whole campus, with a phased programme behind it.
For schools, universities, hostels and estates, we build a window asset register of every opening, grade its condition and urgency, and set out a phased repair-or-replace programme with the evidence a planning authority and a procurement team both need.
The situation
What is a window asset register, and why does an estate need one?
A window asset register is a single numbered record of every window, door and shutter across an estate, coded so that each one can be identified by building, floor and elevation. It replaces the situation most estates find themselves in, which is a rough count and a folder of quotations.
Once it exists, the register does several jobs at once. It is the basis of the capital plan, the document that goes out to tender, the evidence for any consent application, and the record against which completed works are signed off.
What we do
What you get from us
A phased programme
Urgent, recommended and monitor grades that turn one large figure into work that can be staged across budget years.
Procurement-ready output
A summary schedule and totals a procurement team can tender from, and findings a planning authority can rely on.
Questions
Common questions
Can you survey a whole campus?
Yes, and for larger estates we usually suggest starting with a representative sample survey to set the scope and budget before committing to a full register.
Do you work around term time and occupancy?
Yes. Access is agreed with you in advance, and we survey occupied buildings regularly.
Will the register work with our asset management system?
Yes. The coding is agreed with you at the outset so that the references match whatever system you already use.
Do you cover buildings outside London?
Yes, we carry out on-site surveys across the UK from London, with travel quoted per job, and recent work includes Liverpool, Harrogate and Belfast.
Is the fee fixed before you start?
Yes, quoted in writing on the number of windows, the access and the location.
