Project Description

Capworks Management was awarded a major multi-million dollar contract to undertake a building audit for Education Victoria of 900 schools in the metropolitan and country areas of the State.

The audit collected, validated and reported on over 1 million items of information contained in 78,000 rooms. The most critical elements reviewed related to fire, disabled access , glazing and the replacement of capacitors containing polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB's)
Capworks oversaw the collection of all field data and then processed the information to create an electronic database which when completed was transferred to the Education Departments central computer system.

To execute the project Capworks invested $200,000 in the purchase of portable pen activated computers and laptops for the audit team to use in the field.

The completed database provided Education Victoria with an effective means to manage and prioritise the planned maintenance of their extensive asset portfolio.
