Elevators, Escalators or lifts, are among the most visible and highly utilized assets in buildings today. They are the one system that tenants directly interact with.  Their performance is part of the image of the facility and heavily influences the quality of the building as perceived by its tenants and visitors.

IQS is seriously looking into bringing together expertise in consulting, engineering and technology for the Inspection and Management of vertical and horizontal transportation systems, including high rise elevators, commercial elevators, freight elevators, escalators and moving walkways in the very near future. Our qualified inspectors will be able provide clear analysis, cost effective recommendations and attention to detail – ranging from Standards & Code compliance to aesthetic considerations.

The purpose of a Due Diligence Commercial Building & Property Inspection is to report on the condition and adequacy of the building structural systems and operating systems including the remainder of serviceable life expectancy and need for maintenance, repair, replacement and recommended upgrade.

IQS plans to venture into the Commercial Building & Property Inspection business and provide a comprehensive investigation of the building structure and all its corresponding systems for our clients.  Included in our prospective inspection protocol are:

• Structure – concrete, steel and wood components
• Building envelope – roof and sidewalls including windows and doors
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
• Electrical system and components
• Plumbing system and fixtures
• Fire Suppression and life safety systems
• Landscaping including walks, drives, parking areas and planted areas
• Storm water drainage

Asset Management.     Every organization seeks to optimize the maintenance of its assets - notably buildings and industrial or commercial facilities - in order to keep them safe, reliable and in the best operating conditions. By providing you with a whole range of inspection and measurement services throughout the life cycle of your buildings and facilities, we'll help you keep your personnel or workers safe, while minimizing overall maintenance costs and even improving the performance of your assets.

IQS also aims to get into the NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) business and provide the following services as required by our clients for the critical elements/components of their industrial facilities:

1)   Radiography Testing

2)   Ultrasonic Testing

3)   Liquid Penetrant Testing

4)   Magnetic Particle Testing

These tests, if timely initiated, would be a cost-effective measure to detect and correct breakdowns of critical elements/components of the facility and consequently avoid significant waste of company assets, productive time and repair costs.

Effective safety and health inspections are one of the most important incident/accident prevention tools in a company's safety and health program. Using properly trained inspectors in a planned inspection program will reduce incidents and property damage. An effective safety inspection program will improve worker communication, company morale and, over time, save the employer money.

Too often, safety inspections are aimed primarily at finding and recording unsafe conditions. This narrow focus tends to ignore other causes of incidents, such as unsafe actions and personal factors. In addition, workers and supervisors are generally well aware of the inspection teams arrival a day or two before the inspection.

This warning system sometimes creates a preparatory atmosphere before the inspectors arrive. That means the inspectors often observe the workplace and those within it only on a superficial basis. The result is that safety inspectors rarely see the actual situations that are causing the incidents, injuries and property damage. In order for your inspection team to be effective, they must inspect the workplace in its day-to-day status. They must see the activities and the conditions in which incidents, injuries and property damage occur.

An inspection program takes planning, preparation and training. For inspectors to do a good job, they must receive training in what to look for and what to look at. There must be a guidance system in place to maintain consistency of inspections. A provision for recording and reporting any deficiencies to management, the safety committee and supervisors. The last part of the system should provide a means of follow up and the monitoring of any deficiencies identified.

Another future business venture of IQS is in the field of safety consultancy to its clients. With IQS’s expertise and experience in the field of safety, IQS can provide a customized safety inspection and program for each of its unique client.
