“BCSS has proved to be a useful and flexible condition data capture tool. Our surveyors have been able to record information on tablets, quickly and easily, while using this software. The elemental sections follow recognised industry standards and central cost information means that condition survey standards can be easily updated to reflect changing prices. The BCSS software package has allowed us to efficiently undertake our campus condition survey programme.”
