BrickHouse / Systems Inventory
The Systems Inventory answers that with a number — and puts your whole operation on paper, signed by a certified engineering technologist. It starts with a free Walk on your floor.
Our guarantee
If the Inventory doesn’t put your operation on paper — every system you run, the gaps ranked, and at least one fix worth building — you don’t pay.
What it costs
Quoted after the Walk, once we’ve seen the operation — a fixed price, agreed in writing before anything starts. Scope depends on how many sites you run and what records exist, so we won’t guess at it from a web page.
The process
Step 01
Thirty to sixty minutes on your floor or by video. You show us the operation; we tell you what we see. Nothing is sold on the Walk — if it doesn’t need a build, we’ll tell you that too.
Step 02
Fifteen minutes in the portal, then ninety days of work orders, jobs or service records — straight out of your existing system, however messy.
No system to export from? That’s a normal answer and we work around it.
Step 03
Thirty minutes each, by video, around your schedule. We ask about specific recent incidents, not opinions. Nobody prepares anything.
Step 04
Two weeks later. Your numbers, the three biggest gaps ranked and costed in your own figures, what to do about each one — and the Inventory itself, signed by a certified engineering technologist.
The deliverable
How work actually moves through your operation — not how the org chart says it does. Most operations have never seen this written down.
The three biggest gaps, ranked, with the real numbers behind each. Usually at least one is somewhere nobody expected.
Those delays converted into dollars per year, calculated with your cost figures rather than ours. Conservative by default.
Each gap labelled honestly: a process fix, a tooling fix, or not worth spending money on. There’s always at least one of the third kind.
Every tool, spreadsheet, script and automation your operation depends on — who owns each, and which are single points of failure — signed by a certified engineering technologist. The list buyers, insurers and lenders ask for first.
The federal and provincial programs your operation may qualify for — and the whole report is yours regardless of what happens next: act on it with us, with someone else, or on your own.
Why this first
The most common failure in this trade is a consultant selling a solution before understanding the problem — a five-figure strategy document that sits in a folder while nothing changes.
The Inventory exists so that never happens. By the time anyone recommends a build, there’s a measured gap, a dollar figure, and a reason behind it.
Questions
Then that is the finding. Plenty of operations run on radios, whiteboards and people knowing each other. We get what we need from the interviews instead, and the report tells you what it costs to have no record of it. You still get the full deliverable — and setting you up so you do have a record is usually the first recommendation.
No. The report is yours to keep and act on however you like, including with someone else or on your own.
Someone who can pull an export, and three people for half an hour each — typically an owner or operations manager, a maintenance or service lead, and someone doing the work day to day.
It stays between us. We don’t share it, resell it, or name you anywhere. We’re happy to sign your NDA before you send anything.
Fixed price instead of hourly. Two weeks instead of two months. A working recommendation instead of a strategy document. And we can implement what we recommend, so the findings don’t die on the page.
One conversation, no deck. Describe it in plain language and we will tell you honestly whether it is a tooling fix, a process fix, or something you should not spend money on at all.
