Care for the building as carefully as the collection.
Museums run some of the most demanding buildings anywhere: heritage fabric, strict environmental conditions, public access and exhibitions that change the space every few months. Facilities, curatorial and design teams all need the same accurate picture.
Facilities and exhibitions, from one record
viabo captures galleries, stores, plant and back-of-house as a measurable record and registers the building's assets — supporting facility condition and maintenance while giving exhibition teams a precise space to plan in.
What this enables
- Facility condition recorded and compared over time, with visual evidence
- HVAC, security, lighting and building services registered where they sit
- Widths, heights, clearances and floor areas measured for exhibition planning
- Display cases, signage and structures placed in the real space to check sightlines and visitor flow
Value
- Fewer site visits and faster, more confident exhibition planning
- Better coordination across curatorial, design and facilities teams
- A reliable record for maintenance, capital works and condition reporting
One place for every document
Attach manuals, data sheets, drawings and condition reports to the assets and spaces they relate to, and pin annotations in 3D — so information stops getting lost between teams and years.
Key lifecycle stages for museums & cultural institutions
Operations & maintenance
The first years of operation are the most demanding — and car parks, common areas, building services and plant carry most of the maintenance, inspection and defect workload for decades after.
View stageUpgrade & refurbishment
Refurbishments and services upgrades start with an audit — and succeed or fail on how accurate it is.
View stageExpansion & reconfiguration
Adding space, moving equipment or re-planning a floor means fitting something new into something existing.
