The focus of our project was to help the Department of Public Works in Quincy, Massachusetts maximize the effectiveness of their constrained budget. To accomplish this we created tools that allow the city to systematically collect comprehensive assessments of public buildings and then scientifically analyze the gathered information. While on site we tested all facets of these tools by preliminarily evaluating buildings in the city. These tools allow Quincy to use its funds more effectively by identifying areas of concern before they become larger problems.
