PM Assist for Building Consultants

Building consultants and surveyors often need to review large volumes of building documentation as part of condition surveys, technical due diligence, and advisory engagements. PM Assist makes this documentation searchable, allowing you to find specific information across entire documentation packs in seconds.

Reviewing Building Documentation at Speed

Consulting engagements frequently involve reviewing building documentation under tight timescales. Whether you are conducting a condition survey, technical due diligence for an acquisition, or advising on a refurbishment project, you need to quickly extract relevant information from O&M manuals, drawings, and certificates.

Traditionally this involves manually browsing through document packs, which is time-consuming and risks missing critical information buried within large files. PM Assist transforms this process by allowing you to search across the entire documentation set with natural language queries.

Finding Critical Information for Reports

When preparing survey reports or technical assessments, you need specific pieces of information from the building documentation: equipment ages, maintenance histories, system capacities, compliance status, and design parameters. PM Assist allows you to query the documentation directly and get source-cited answers.

This is particularly valuable for technical due diligence, where the quality and completeness of building documentation is itself a factor in the assessment. By searching the documentation systematically with PM Assist, you can quickly identify what information is available and where gaps exist.

  • Search entire documentation packs with natural language
  • Find equipment specifications and installation dates
  • Identify documentation gaps and completeness issues
  • Get source-cited answers for report writing

Efficient Multi-Building Assessments

Portfolio assessments and multi-site surveys require reviewing documentation for multiple buildings, often within a compressed timeframe. PM Assist supports multiple buildings per account, allowing you to set up a documentation library for each building in the portfolio and search them individually.

This consistent search interface across multiple buildings streamlines the review process and ensures a thorough, systematic approach to documentation assessment across the entire portfolio.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use PM Assist for a single consulting engagement?
Yes. You can create an account, upload the documentation for a specific engagement, and use PM Assist for the duration of the project. PM Assist offers flexible pricing options suitable for project-based work.
Is my client's documentation secure?
Yes. PM Assist uses per-building data separation, encryption in transit and at rest, and role-based access control. Your client's documentation is not shared with other users or used to train AI models.
Can PM Assist help assess documentation completeness?
PM Assist helps you search for specific types of documentation and information. If you search for something and it cannot be found, this may indicate a gap in the documentation set. This systematic searching approach is more thorough than manual browsing.
