The Challenge

Public sector organizations managing large property portfolios face significant challenges in maintaining oversight of building conditions across hundreds of facilities. National infrastructure reports have revealed that municipal buildings alone face maintenance backlogs estimated in the hundreds of billions of NOK. Traditional assessment methods are resource-intensive, inconsistent, and fail to provide the strategic visibility needed for informed decision-making on maintenance priorities and capital investments.

Our Approach

The platform addresses these challenges through a modular, web-based approach to building portfolio assessment. AI Alchemy Hub provides ongoing technical development and platform maintenance, ensuring continuous improvement of the system's analytical capabilities and user experience. The platform enables organizations to conduct standardized assessments using their own personnel, with assessment times as low as 5-10 minutes per building for overarching evaluations. AI Alchemy Hub provides technical development and maintenance services for this property portfolio management platform, focusing on enhancing the system's analytical capabilities, user interface improvements, and ensuring platform reliability and performance. Our team works to continuously improve the platform's ability to deliver actionable insights for strategic property management decisions.
