We are extremely pleased with the process and ultimately the results. Board members at Luther easily grasped the concept of building component life expectancy and the need to provide for its replacement. This process yielded $6,000,000 earmarked for deferred renewal.

Specialized Audits

Specialized Audits are specific audits that include infrastructure, utility systems, furniture, equipment, bar-coding, and due-diligence surveys.

These are customized audits for clients who require detailed and definitive information about specific systems or building components. The lifecycle audit methodology can be applied effectively to underground and other hidden systems and components such as utility networks. Utility and infrastructure systems have been estimated to account for 25% or more of the value of a physical plant. Not adequately representing them in your reinvestment forecasts may result in a significant budget shortfall.

Other component audits may includeportable furniture, office partitions, commercial kitchen equipment, and fleet vehicles. Our capabilities also include bar-code tagging of equipment and populating PM programs.

We also perform due-diligence surveys to model future reinvestment needs for organizations that are in negotiations to acquire new properties.

In every case, the Diversified Intelligence team applies a targeted and objective data-driven analysis, enabling you to accurately assess the condition of individual systems and plan for their renewal.
