Our teams can support large A&E primes with the right technical expertise and ramp up support quickly as needed for any project.
Facility Condition Assessment Success
Binary supported a prime to inspect conditions at Army Crane and Scranton, providing the organization with accurate data to develop future budgets for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of assets.
Leadership needed an accurate inventory and Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) of more than 300 buildings and 1500 storage igloos, sheds, bunkers and magazines at Crane, and 11 buildings at Scranton, to make decisions on future work requirements.
Our team performed assessments, capturing data and photos on every asset, conducting walk-throughs to verify and determine the condition of the facilities and components, and recording the data in BUILDER SMS, ensuring high data quality and accuracy.
The validation of the Real Property Information and the uploading of data using BUILDER/BRED included the following:
- Building Level Comments, including:
- Missing systems
- Renovation dates
- Inaccessible areas
- Missing drawings
- Inventory and Inspections comments, in accordance with Army BUILDER SMS Inventory and Assessment Implementation Guide
- Photographs of facilities uploaded into BUILDER SMS
Our team successfully supported the prime contractor to provide AMC and Army Crane with accurate and complete real property physical inventory and facility conditions, enabling leaders to identify and prioritize work requirements and develop plans and funding strategies for the future.

Asset Accountability Success
US Army Europe (USAREUR) needed experts with real property domain knowledge to conduct inspections / space utilization studies across multiple countries, validate data, create documentation, and update / add GFEBS records to improve accountability and prepare for an audit sample. Binary’s team of real property experts completed tasks accurately and on time, enabling USAREUR to improve future funding levels, proactively manage costs, and achieve audit readiness.
“Binary provided our organization with superior Real Property support services for the last several years. Because of their quality of work, the Audit Sample shows that USARUER has the best sample out there among land holding commands – 15 out of 16 so far.” – Realty Specialist for Facilities and Construction in the Office Deputy Chief of Staff Engineer, U.S. Army Europe.
Our teams have supported dozens of Army organizations (CONUS and OCONUS), including Fort Leavenworth, Letterkenny Arsenal, US Army Europe, Fort Belvoir, Dugway Proving Ground, White Sands
Missile Range, Fort Knox, Carlisle Barracks, and many others, enabling organizations to increase sustainment funding levels, proactively manage costs, make informed decisions, and other benefits.
Binary is always innovating to improve outcomes for our customers, which is why we developed our own field data collection mobile app, Asset360. It can pre-populate data from GFEBS and other real property systems, reducing the amount of time to enter new inspection or survey data, eliminating data entry inaccuracies, and tying photos taken with the asset. With custom reports and analytics, Asset360 provides actionable intelligence for leaders to make better decisions.
- Our teams collect asset data, photos, and exact location coordinates in the field quickly and accurately via our mobile app
- Automates validation of collected data against existing asset data to identify discrepancies and variances for quick resolution
- Creates an Inventory Worksheet with all asset data for quick review and approval by leadership
- PDFs created to include in asset digital and print folders
- Data can be integrated, uploaded, or entered efficiently in other asset accountability / CMMS systems
- Comprehensive reports & analytics for visibility on progress and informed decision-making
PLANT MAINTENANCE

Binary can lead the transition for asset management from legacy systems to the required asset system of record, enabling organizations and their BaseOps / facility management contractors to proactively manage operations, service orders, and costs. Binary has supported many BaseOps contractors and federal organizations to proactively manage assets and Operations & Maintenance costs including Fort Bliss, Fort Meade, and Dugway Proving Grounds.
Transitioning the Plant Maintenance Process to GFEBS Success
Dugway Proving Grounds (Dugway) needed a team of experts to help them transition the management of operations and maintenance activities so they could proactively manage assets and costs, eliminate duplicate or unnecessary services by the BaseOps contractor, effectively collect reimbursables, and produce accurate Status of Funds.
Our team prepared a master file of equipment assets with all critical data, including preventative maintenance schedules and warranty information. Our team validated the data and prepared the file for upload in GFEBS. Our team also trained the BaseOps contractor staff on entering all work orders in GFEBS, including emergency, services, and preventative maintenance, to track and manage service costs in the Army’s financial ERP.
With a complete inventory of real property and equipment assets, the BaseOps contractor could create work orders with accurate labor and material costs and close the orders out properly, as well as perform services on assets proactively and at the right time to extend useful life. This provided better data to the Resource Management department so they could proactively manage costs against the budget and produce accurate Status of Funds.
