The Oakleaf Group

The 6 Facet Survey forms the ‘core’ estates information required by NHS EstateCODE. Historically this has always been regarded as the ‘minimum data set’ of information necessary on which to base intelligent decisions about the future of an estate. It provides good base information for an Estates Strategy and can inform your CIAMS output.

The Review

Oakleaf’s 6 Facet Survey comprises a combination of six separate surveys and reviews, which are carried out by separate specialised survey teams and auditors, each experienced in their own field. Only one interview is necessary when visiting the site, providing a cost effective solution.

The resultant 6 Facet Survey will allow Condition Categories to be allocated to properties on a facet by facet basis together with a summary of remedial costs to bring each facet up to a safe and sound condition.

Data is gathered using hand held electronic gathering tools that provide data consistency between surveyors and have in-built checking and productivity functionality. The tools mirror a standard pro-forma style and are used to record the condition of each element/sub element. A risk assessment is undertaken (as  required by NHS) which gives a score for Severity and Probability.
