Project Deliverables
Project deliverables received by clients on a
typical Vertical Access job include a letter of
report and annotated elevations with keyed
photographs.
AutoCAD drawings indicate the locations and extent
of defects while photographs and written
descriptions explain the observed conditions and
possible underlying causes of deterioration.
Vertical Access provides photos and annotated
AutoCAD drawings in digital formats if requested by
the client. Other materials furnished for a project
are videotapes and building material samples
obtained during the investigation.
Information collected during the survey may be
organized and presented to the client in tabular,
spreadsheet or database formats.
Interactive, web-based technology is being developed
for use with Vertical Access' project deliverables.
"Smart" drawings with associated or embedded
attribute information make greater amounts of
information more easily accessible to the client.
