11. How do we plan to refurbish? What level of refurbishment is necessary?

12. The level of refurbishment necessary is based upon 2 factors:
The buildings performance
The buildings condition

13. The level of maintenance/refurbishment necessary is based upon 2 factors:
The buildings performance
The buildings condition
This is Building Pathology- how is the building constructed, what is its use and how will it be maintained?

14. The condition needs to be recorded to ascertain the following key factors:
1/ The level of repair;
2/ The remaining life of the element;
This needs to be objectively communicated and therefore it follows the
Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) categories:
A = As new
B = Serviceable State of Repair
C = Operational but requiring major repair or upgrading
D = Inoperable, unsafe or at risk of immediate failure.

15. 2/ The remaining life of the element;
The condition needs to be recorded to ascertain the following key factors:
1/ The level of repair;
2/ The remaining life of the element;
The tables indicate the varying life expectancies of components based upon condition and priority.

The remaining life is a professional subjective call, based on no works being undertaken and should be continually reviewed.
