Case Study: How AtapScan Helped a JMB Save Thousands in Repair Costs
Managing a building can be a daunting task, especially for Joint Management Bodies (JMBs) that face daily challenges in ensuring proper maintenance, tenant satisfaction, and cost control. Among the most significant headaches? Roof repairs—often plagued by unverified contractor quotes and recurring issues.
In this case study, we’ll explore how AtapScan, a cutting-edge roof inspection service, helped a JMB save over RM10,000, streamline decision-making, and significantly improve tenant satisfaction.
Introduction: The Pain Points of Roof Management
For many JMBs, roof repairs represent a constant challenge. Here’s why:
- Unverified Quotes: Without a clear understanding of roof damage, JMBs often rely solely on contractors’ assessments, leaving room for inflated quotes.
- Recurring Issues: Poor workmanship or failure to identify underlying problems results in repeated repairs and escalating costs.
- Tenant Complaints: Recurring leaks or unaddressed damage lead to dissatisfaction among residents, impacting the JMB’s credibility.
This was the scenario faced by a mid-sized JMB managing a 10-story residential building in Kuala Lumpur. After spending RM40,000 on repairs in a single year, only to deal with recurring leaks, they knew they needed a smarter solution.
Enter AtapScan.
How AtapScan Identified the Real Problem
AtapScan offers a comprehensive roof inspection service that combines visual analysis, thermal imaging, and detailed reporting to uncover issues often missed during manual inspections.
Step 1: Thorough Inspection
Using advanced drones equipped with thermal cameras, AtapScan conducted a non-intrusive inspection of the building’s roof. Within hours, the team identified:
- Multiple unsealed gaps around skylights and ventilation units.
- Patches of moisture trapped under the roof membrane, indicating hidden leaks.
- Evidence of previous repair work that failed to address structural issues.
Step 2: Clear and Actionable Reporting
The findings were compiled into a detailed report, complete with high-resolution images and thermal data, making it easy for the JMB to visualize the damage. AtapScan also highlighted areas of concern, prioritizing repairs based on urgency and potential cost impact.
Step 3: Validation of Repair Work
After repairs were completed, AtapScan conducted a post-repair inspection to ensure all issues were resolved. This step prevented further overspending and guaranteed the quality of the work performed.
The Benefits: RM10,000 Saved and Peace of Mind Restored
- Substantial Cost Savings
Before AtapScan, the JMB was quoted RM25,000 for extensive roof repairs. However, the detailed inspection revealed that only RM15,000 worth of targeted repairs were necessary. This resulted in immediate savings of RM10,000, which the JMB redirected to other maintenance needs.
- Improved Efficiency
By identifying the root cause of the recurring leaks, AtapScan eliminated the need for repeated repairs. The streamlined process allowed the JMB to resolve issues in weeks rather than months, minimizing disruptions to tenants.
- Increased Tenant Satisfaction
After years of dealing with leaks and repair delays, residents were thrilled with the quick resolution and the transparency provided by the JMB. The use of AtapScan demonstrated the JMB’s commitment to improving building management.
- Enhanced Decision-Making
The comprehensive data provided by AtapScan empowered the JMB to make informed decisions. With clear evidence of what needed fixing and what didn’t, they could negotiate with contractors confidently and avoid unnecessary expenses.
Why AtapScan Works: Practical Applications for JMBs
AtapScan is designed to address the common pain points faced by JMBs, making it an invaluable tool for building management. Here’s how it stands out:
- Non-Intrusive Inspections: No scaffolding or manual labor is required, ensuring inspections are quick and cost-effective.
