The Firefighting Region Kempen disposes of 6 barracks that are managed by the fire brigade through a long lease of 50 years. It concerns the fire stations in Geel, Herentals, Mol, Westerlo, Grobbendonk and Balen. After entering into the leasehold agreement, the fire brigade, in the words of Major Filip Kenis, wanted to 'know what they stand for'.

The services provided consisted of screening, inspecting and determining the condition of the selected buildings, building elements and installations. Four sub-tasks were defined and carried out:

Quick scan
Building audits (according to NEN2767)
Multi-year maintenance planning
Life cycle costing or 'Total Cost of Ownership' (TCO)

Afterwards, overall syntheses per barracks and a cross-comparison between the barracks were made.
