Watson & Sole
(W&S) have been working in the Building Industry for over 35 years.
Applying our knowledge and feedback from Building and Facilities Managers
and our experience managing and producing record documentation, we have
developed a unique software tool called INTELI-SCAN.
This is the latest development of INTELI-SCAN and builds upon
the years of success of INTELI-SCAN LAN.
INTELI-SCAN contains the Building and Project Record Documentation in
an easy to use database, including the following documents:
- Building Information
(Health & Safety File, BREEAM & L2 Log Book)
- Asset Register
- System and Element Documentation
- CAD Schematics & Record Drawings
- Manufacturers Literature and
Drawings
- BMS Controls Strategy Documents and Graphics
- Testing and Commissioning
Results
Throughout the duration of a new build,
fit out or refurbishment project, W&S manage all parties to ensure
quality record documents are presented in a consistent format within INTELI-SCAN.
The management process also enables W&S to monitor the documents
so that only information pertinent to the particular project are included
within the database.
SEARCH FEATURES
Many
Building Operators would say that finding the right information for the
Building is one of their biggest challenges. INTELI-SCAN provides
the user with structured data and extensive search facilities. The INTELI-SCAN key
word search feature gives quick access to all of the documents and data
groupings.
INTELI-SCAN is unique in the Building Industry by providing
full search engine capabilities in a "Google" like manner allowing
the user to search for information with a simple word or phrase. For users
that require a more advanced approach, additional search features are provided
with extensive filters and user definable grouping of data.
INTELI-SCAN has a structured data arrangement whereby
documents are all associated with systems, authors and projects. This allows
the user to search for and group information by these key document characteristics.
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT FEATURES
In addition INTELI-SCAN provides all the necessary features
for ensuring the information base is kept up to date through all changes
made to the building by providing:
- Documentation Project Management and progress reporting for Base Build,
Refurbishment and all Fit Out Projects
- Online authoring, updating and amendment of the documents
- Version control
- Commenting and approval of documents
- Online viewing

The INTELI-SCAN approach is distinctive in the way it
ensures records are updated for fit outs rather than providing stand alone
document sets that duplicate and supersede information from previous projects
within a building. In this way the end user is guaranteed to be reading
the current information for their building.
INTELI-SCAN does, however, allow project users to see
their subset of data that relates only to the project they are contributing
to. This simplifies the process of producing the documents for the fit
outs and ensures data security and privacy.
TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT
INTELI-SCAN takes full advantage of the Internet and
its familiar functionality. INTELI-SCAN is developed
using:
- Microsoft .NET Programming
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Microsoft IIS and Indexing Service
- Online View and Mark up Tool
- Client Browsers
INTELI-SCAN is hosted on W&S Servers located in a
state-of-the art data centre. The Benefits of this are excellent service
levels, secure backup and business continuity planning. |
