Facilities Management Directors are often faced with the challenge of managing complex surveying projects efficiently while controlling costs and ensuring comprehensive reporting. Apex Survey, a newly launched app, has proven to be a game-changer for one site, saving significant time and man hours without compromising on quality.
The Challenge
On a recent facilities survey project, the team at Apex was tasked with delivering detailed site assessments and custom reports within a tight timeframe. Traditional surveying methods were proving time-consuming, with manual data collection and report generation extending project duration and increasing labour costs.
The Apex Survey Solution
The Apex Survey app introduced a streamlined, digital-first approach. Key features included:
- Mobile data capture, eliminating paper forms and manual input
- Customisable report templates tailored to client requirements
- Automated saving and export of survey data, enhancing accuracy and accessibility
By integrating these capabilities, the app accelerated the surveying process, enabling the team to gather and process information in real time.
Results Achieved
- Time Savings: Completed surveys 7 days faster than previous projects.
- Cost Efficiency: Saved over £1000 in man hours on just one site.
- Improved Reporting: Delivered fully customisable reports promptly, supporting better decision-making.
The efficiency gains meant the facilities management team could reallocate resources to other critical tasks, improving overall operational productivity.

The ability to save valuable time and money while maintaining high-quality deliverables can positively impact both project outcomes and stakeholder satisfaction.
