NEN2767 audit and condition state measurements
Since the beginning of 2018, two Ingenium engineers have been certified by the Belgian Construction Certification Association (BCCA) as "building inspector. This proves their expertise within the framework of the Dutch standard NEN 2767. This methodology for inspecting buildings complements our expertise in commissioning.
NEN 2767 is finding increasing acceptance in Belgium. The condition of a building is charted in an objective, detailed and uniform manner by means of a thorough visual inspection. The result - the condition score - is situated on a scale ranging from 'excellent' - where only minor defects are found - to 'very poor', when the building is technically ripe for demolition. With a clear baseline measurement as a starting point, the evolution of the building condition can be further monitored. The information obtained is crucial for establishing maintenance budgets over several years, decisions about buying and selling or renting and leasing buildings.
Functional tests are not included in the inspection. For Ingenium, NEN 2767 therefore forms part of a broader story of total commissioning. We also examine the documents referring to the technical systems, check whether the techniques still deliver the desired output - among other things by mapping user complaints - and perform simple operation checks.
Among others, het Facilitair Bedrijf of the Flemish government engages Ingenium's certified building inspectors. This has the advantage that we can immediately check the maintenance work delivered during the NEN 2767 inspections. Moreover, the scale and years of experience of Ingenium allow us to estimate future maintenance and investment needs very accurately and realistically. It not only avoids unexpected and unpleasant surprises. Making strategic choices also becomes a good deal easier as a result.
