Building hierarchy
Buildings, systems and components are organized so every later observation and finding can be traced back to the place it belongs.

Lumetra for Building Condition Assessment
Connect BCA scope, evidence, findings, review and capital planning.
Lumetra structures the Building Condition Assessment lifecycle so project teams can develop reviewed records and client outputs without separating the evidence from the decision trail.
Scope and hierarchy
Define the assessment before field work begins.
Projects start with buildings, systems, components, scope inclusions and required outputs configured to the engagement.
Configurable methodology
Use an ASTM/Uniformat-informed structure where reviewed and configured for the engagement. Taxonomies, rating scales and required fields are set before capture starts, not reconstructed during reporting.
Field evidence
Capture observations where they belong.
Each observation is connected to a location, component, photograph, note, author and status so evidence stays in context.
Linked media
Photographs, markups and notes are attached to the observation record and referenced from the related finding.
Authored records
Every observation carries author, timestamp and status so the field record can be reviewed against the approved method.
Status visibility
Draft, complete, flagged and confirmed states help teams see what still needs attention before findings are written.
Findings
Connect evidence to condition, priority and recommendations.
Findings carry condition, deficiency, priority, recommendation, timing and cost fields with visible authorship.
Structured finding fields
Condition rating, deficiency description, priority, recommendation, timing and cost assumptions are stored as structured data so reports can be assembled consistently.
Professional authorship
Each finding shows the author who created it and the reviewer who approved it, with revision history preserved for later review.
Review and QA
Distinguish working records from released outputs.
Review is recorded as assignment, questions, revision and approval states before any information is released.
Assignment
Review tasks are assigned with scope and criteria so reviewers know what to validate.
Questions and revision
Reviewers can raise questions, request revisions and track responses before approving a record for release.
Release control
Working drafts remain separate from released outputs. Release is a deliberate workflow step, not a default state.
Report and delivery
Assemble approved records into controlled outputs.
Reports are composed from approved findings and records, then issued through a controlled release step.
Lumetra helps teams produce consistent report sections, tables and client-facing summaries from the same governed record. It does not claim automatic completeness: the quality of the output depends on the quality of the approved inputs and the review performed by the responsible team.
Capital planning
Connect approved findings to longer-term planning.
When a workflow supports it, approved findings can feed timing, cost and scenario assumptions for capital planning.
BCA findings can carry cost and timing assumptions that inform planning conversations. The goal is to preserve the link between the original evidence, the finding and the planning assumption so the decision trail remains intact.
A separate Reserve Fund / Capital Planning module remains On the roadmap. It is intended to connect approved condition, timing and cost assumptions to long-term planning scenarios.
Implementation
Fit Lumetra to the way your practice works.
Building Condition Assessment is supported by two Orbis Structus service programs.
Deploy
Configure Lumetra around your BCA method, templates and review workflow. Deployment is shaped to your existing process, not a forced replacement of it.
