Building studies, from walkthrough to board pack

This page explains how we run occupancy pattern analytics and smart building reporting on site—so you know what happens before you commission a study.

Observation before opinion

We treat lobbies, lift banks, desks, and meeting suites as distinct zones. Counts and dwell notes stay tied to those names so facilities staff recognise the map on the first glance.

Weather closures, renovation weeks, and one-off events are labelled and kept out of the core profile. That discipline is what makes seasonal briefings and portfolio comparisons trustworthy.

Study sequence

  1. Scope call. Confirm floors, zones, deadlines, and whether you already hold access logs or booking exports.
  2. On-site orientation. Walk with FM or security; note entrances, attendant posts, and naming quirks.
  3. Agreed sample window. Capture weekdays and, when relevant, one weekend slice; exclude atypical days with a written reason.
  4. Analysis & draft. Build zone charts, peak profiles, and a plain-language findings section.
  5. Review & final pack. One revision round, then a final report and optional oral briefing in English or Cantonese.

When a full study is not the first step

Some estates only need a four-floor utilization audit or a printable chart pack for supervisors. Others want a quarterly briefing once a baseline exists. We will say so if a narrower offer fits better than the flagship study.
