The Benefits of e-Builts Construction Photography to Hospital and Medical Facility Management

Hospitals are perhaps the most complex of buildings.  Enhanced structural requirements, HVAC, medical gases, the complex systems are numerous.

Superior Hospital Management and Medical Facilities management require that these complex systems are understood, findable and require an improved understanding of a building.  e-Builts is here to help.  From a simple-to-use plan view of each floor of a building, a Hospital or Medical Facilities Manager manager can access a photograph of every component, in every wall and ceiling of a building.

Hospital Facility Management is less complex and Hospital Maintenance costs go down because of:

• Ease of access to information (O & M manuals can be attached to the digital photographs)
• The interface is not a complicated search – look at a plan, find your room, open the photograph and see what is there.
• There is no complex fly through of a model to see a digital representation, you get to SEE what is in the wall on a photograph.
• A standard computer and monitor is all that is needed.
• Where is the distribution junction for medical gases?  How are the medical gases piping routed?  The click of mouse will locate those conditions and if access is required, reduce damage to adjacent finishes.
• E-Builts allows a surgical approach to subsequent building changes and repairs.

Let’s say an equipment recall or upgrade of examination room equipment is required.   A Hospital Facility Manager will use the e-Builts interface and on the plan view, find the room, mouse-over the shooting station (indicated by a colored icon), look at the wall in question, dissolve the fixtures and finishes and you are looking at the structure.  With the click of your mouse you can measure to the immovable structure, determine where mechanical, electrical, plumbing items are located and surgically demolish – rather than create a far more complicated and time consuming issue.

Hospital and Medical Facilities Management are blind without e-Builts easy to use and navigate interface that can show you every component of your building.
