I’m currently exploring an early-stage concept called FluxIQ, focused on helping property, facility, and maintenance teams better organize mechanical equipment information and make clearer maintenance and planning decisions.

This is not a sales survey. I’m currently in the research and prototype stage, and I’d really value your feedback. The survey should take about 3–5 minutes.

Section 1 - About You

1. Which best describes your role?

Property Manager

Maintenance Manager

Contractor / Service Provider

Engineer / Consultant

2. What type of facility or portfolio do you work with most?

Commercial buildings / offices

Residential / multi-unit buildings

Industrial or manufacturing facilities

Institutional buildings, such as schools, hospitals, clinics, or universities

Warehouses or storage facilities

Utilities, municipal, or infrastructure facilities

Section 2 - Challenges

3. What are the biggest challenges with managing mechanical equipment today?

Knowing which equipment needs attention first

Keeping maintenance records organized

Using BAS/BMS, SCADA, alarms, or trend data effectively

Making repair-versus-replace decisions

Planning future replacements or capital costs

Too much information spread across different places

4. How difficult is it today to turn mechanical equipment information into clear maintenance or planning decisions?

Section 3 - Current Data

5. Which types of information do you currently have access to?

Select all that apply.

5. Which types of information do you currently have access to?

Equipment / asset list

Work orders or maintenance records

Contractor or vendor service reports

SCADA or controls data

Energy or utility data

Staff notes or operator knowledge

Limited structured data

6. How would you describe the information your team uses today?

Mostly historical records, such as past work orders and reports

Mostly periodic information, such as inspections or manual updates

Mostly operational/live data, such as BAS/BMS/SCADA trends or alarms

A mix of historical, periodic, and operational data

Section 4 - Usefulness

7. Which outputs would be most useful to your team?

Prioritized list of equipment needing attention

Summary of recurring issues

Suggested review window, such as “review within 30 days”

Repair-versus-replace support

Early warning flags for abnormal equipment behaviour

Simple dashboard or report for management

More detailed technical view for maintenance/facility staff

8. Would a simple report be useful if it helped summarize equipment concerns, recurring issues, and which assets may need review first?

Yes, definitely
