Aging buildings, changes in enrollment patterns and educational programs, and the need to technologically update existing facilities, combined with severe restrictions on available funds, have created major educational facility issues throughout the nation.
MGT's system, BASYSŪ, is a Windows-based computer application that allows evaluators to enter findings at the building site and electronically transmit the results for incorporation into a master database. This computer-based building condition assessment tool has been used to evaluate thousands of buildings and institutions throughout the country.
The main component of BASYSŪ is a building condition evaluation process. This process provides a highly structured building condition assessment that produces consistent results even when multiple evaluators are utilized. The results enable facility planners to identify and prioritize facility needs.
BASYSŪ assesses the condition of individual building systems. The evaluation results in a system rating of new, good, fair, poor or unsatisfactory based on well-defined system performance measures.
