Project description

Lancaster Maloney was established in 2003 and has grown into an innovative, dynamic principal design practice of talented professionals – expert in the design, property care and management of the built environment.

The aim of this project was to improve Lancaster Maloney’s internal property management processes. They had been using Microsoft Access database for many years to manage their property maintenance and repairs prior to the web-based application we had developed.

**Original method of managing site-specific tasks**

Process

The most intricate part of the process was establishing the models and relationships between them. The system was fairly sophisticated so there were many close discussions with the LM team to get it right.

**The dashboard platform allowed the LM team to manage all the datasets in one place.**

There were a few datasets in its core – each with an ability to perform basic CRUD operations inside the dashboard environment:

Jobs
Clients
Contractors
Sites
Site tasks
Contracts

Planned Preventive Maintenance - legally required tasks, repeated weekly, monthly and/or yearly
Reactive Maintenance - one-off jobs, react to the current needs/issues
Daily Site Manager Tasks - repeat daily, site specific
Job status - following internal protocols
Email integration

We also implemented multiple user access levels:

Administrator - full access, for internal use
Facility manager - access to a specific client with a subset of properties
Site manager - access to a single site
