Commercial Property
Facade condition intelligence for asset managers, REITs, and commercial landlords.
Overview
Facade intelligence
for commercial property.
Commercial property owners and asset managers operate under constant pressure to protect asset value, satisfy tenant expectations, and meet regulatory obligations. Facade condition is a direct driver of all three. A building with visible defects loses tenant confidence, draws regulatory attention, and erodes capital value. Yet most commercial portfolios still rely on periodic PDF reports that are difficult to compare across buildings or track over time.
Facade Inspect replaces that fragmented approach with a structured digital record for every building in a portfolio. Each facade defect is classified by severity, pinned to a 3D model, and linked to a cost estimate. Asset managers can view all buildings in a single dashboard, compare condition trends, and allocate capital expenditure based on data rather than guesswork. The platform tracks remediation from identification through to verified completion.
For REITs and institutional owners managing dozens or hundreds of assets, the platform provides portfolio-level visibility into facade risk. Condition data is always current, always accessible, and always shareable with investors, valuers, and insurers. Annual re-inspections add to the permanent record, building a verifiable maintenance history that supports due diligence, disposal, and acquisition decisions.
Challenges
What makes facade management
harder in this sector.
Portfolio-wide facade condition is invisible when each building has a separate PDF report filed in a different location.
Capex allocation for facade maintenance is based on estimates rather than structured, severity-ranked defect data.
Tenant complaints about facade condition escalate before property managers have data to assess the real risk.
Due diligence for acquisitions and disposals requires facade condition evidence that is hard to assemble from historical records.
Lease obligations for exterior maintenance are difficult to verify without a documented condition baseline.
Insurer requests for condition evidence create scrambles that consume property management time.

FAQs
Common questions.
Can I view facade condition across my entire portfolio in one place?
Yes. The portfolio dashboard shows every building you manage in a single view. Each building displays its inspection status, the number of open defects by severity, and the progress of any active remediation work. You can filter by location, building type, or risk level. This replaces the need to open individual PDF reports or chase building managers for updates. The dashboard updates automatically as inspections and remediation work progress.
How does facade inspection data support capex planning?
Every defect in the register includes a severity classification and a cost estimate for repair. The platform generates a prioritised action list that shows what needs immediate attention, what should be budgeted for the next financial year, and what can be monitored over a longer horizon. Asset managers can export this data into their own capex planning models or use the platform view directly. The severity ranking ensures that spending is directed at the highest-risk items first.
What documentation do we get for due diligence?
Facade Inspect provides a complete condition record for each building, including a severity-classified defect register, an interactive 3D model with every defect pinned to its location, a remediation history showing completed and outstanding works, and annual condition trend data. This record is accessible via a secure link and can be shared with acquirers, valuers, and legal teams. It gives due diligence reviewers a clear, verifiable picture of facade condition without requiring a new inspection.
