New Features

We’re always saying it, and we’re still doing it – Beyond Condition keeps improving.

We’re constantly working on new features to help users reduce data entry time and get the absolute most out of their reports, big and small. Since our last newsletter we’ve added:

• Import existing reports — Do you have a spreadsheet that wasn’t made using BC? Now you can import it and edit it in BC. Or share your exported schedules with a colleague that uses BC for them to edit.
• Hierarchical fields — Need columns which break down elements into sub-element and sub-sub element? You can customise a BC template to do that for you now.
• Sub Folders — Using your images as the starting point for your data entry? If you’ve already organized your images into sub folders before uploading (ie roof, elevations, externals, internals), then BC will add that as an extra data column in your spreadsheet. One less thing to do.

Coming Soon

We’re working on an “offline” mode — we know that some users do work in locations that don’t have the best network connection. We’re currently adding a feature that will allow data entry done in the field in such circumstances to automatically re-sync when you get back within network range. This will allow you to collect data from remote locations, and still generate a report when you get back.

The added bonus is that this will also make our data entry more robust — if you are mid-way through entering data when your connection goes down, BC will automatically re-sync your changes when you come back online.

We love your feedback! Let us know what you are looking for from BC and how we can help you.

BC Community

We’ve created a LinkedIn group for our users to provide feedback, to help us improve Beyond Condition on the fly, and for you to share your experiences. Someone may be using BC to quickly do something that could help you too. Take a look and join in.

Last month we also got mentions in the RICS Building Surveying Journal and RICS Modus.

Licensed assessors are under pressure to keep up with legislation and develop methods to track and maintain data accurately and are using cloud based solutions to collate information and reduce cost. 

According to Beyond Condition’s senior manager Ben Ihle, the cost of creating and updating asbestos registers can often be dramatically reduced by using online tools.

“An average asbestos report can cost up to half a full day of additional time if the building consultant does not use an effective capture tool,” he said.

“Online tools can enable reports to be created easily in a pre-tabulated format reflecting the minimum data capture requirements required by legislation.”

“The asbestos report template included in the Basic subscription is streamlined to allow quick recording of inspection and sample dates. In addition, it automatically calculates risk based on likelihood and consequence. With the Professional subscription users can create their own fields to meet their client’s bespoke needs.” he concluded.

Across the world workload for building consultants, surveyors and auditors continues to increase as client demands are fuelling the race for more efficient methods of delivering professional services in the property and construction industry.

According to experts, professional surveyors and auditors will keep pace effectively by combining best practice with intuitive technology based solutions.

With the industry already under pressure to produce accurate reports in a shorter length of time, Brisbane based company Beyond Condition has developed a cloud-based tool designed to convey the surveyor’s judgement in report form in less time.

According to Mr. Ben Ihle, Senior Manager at Beyond Condition whether you are completing an audit, inspection, or maintenance report, the company’s online tool can dramatically reduce the overall time spent on site and at the office uploading and formatting reports.

“Beyond Condition keeps you on top of workflow by creating rapid reports. All surveyors have to do is take site photos and enter data – Beyond Condition will generate a formatted photographic presentation report and take the tedium out of the task,” he said.

“Judging by feedback and system statistics – a building surveyor that would normally take three days to complete and return a report to the client could take less than one day using Beyond Condition. We’ve worked hard to strike a balance between a tool that helps you, but which doesn’t get in your way,” he concluded.

The Basic subscription comes with standardised report templates and the Professional subscription enables users to set up custom report templates and define custom fields.
