How the Ville de Labège catalogued more than 80% of its estate in one year
Plans that are missing, outdated or scattered across departments: the most familiar starting point there is for a local authority. In one year, the Ville de Labège catalogued more than 80% of an estate of 28 buildings and 16,549 m² in a single database.

Context
An estate department that wants to manage without needless complexity
The Ville de Labège, in the Toulouse area, maintains an estate of 28 public buildings totalling 16,549 m². Its building estate department oversees the upkeep, safety and compliance of these spaces for the benefit of residents. The starting point stands out for its clear-sightedness.
As in many local authorities, the challenge was first and foremost knowing the estate and the quality of the data. That is what makes sound decisions possible, and what allows a shift from a budget mindset to a long-term estate mindset. Reliable plans, known equipment, a database everyone can consult: a remarkably clear roadmap.
Missing, outdated or scattered plans
How can you manage an estate effectively when you know neither its plans nor its equipment? Without reliable data, every decision requires an investigation first, and management stays reactive.
- Plans that can’t be found: missing, outdated or scattered across departments, with no reliable view of the estate.
- Little-known equipment: without a structured inventory, maintenance was managed in a hurry and case by case.
Under these conditions, it is hard to move from a budget mindset to long-term estate planning.
The solution
Frugal BIM, with the Essential package as the starting point
The town started with the Essential package, to centralise plans, equipment and fittings in a single database, with no needless extra layers. Documents already available (plans, technical files, spreadsheets, inspection reports) were put to use before the survey, then each piece of equipment was linked to its space: heating and ventilation, electrical, safety. The next step is already set: the property master plan and multi-year planning of the Strategic package.
What the survey delivered

More than 80% of the estate catalogued in one year
Here are the actual project figures, after one year. Beyond the numbers, the nature of maintenance has changed. It is now planned ahead rather than handled in a hurry. Audits draw on reusable data.

Conclusion
Labège is no longer at the mercy of its estate
Point by point, it all adds up. Plans that couldn’t be found have given way to a centralised, up-to-date database. Equipment, inventoried and linked to its spaces, means maintenance can be planned rather than endured. And with more than 80% of the estate catalogued in one year, the building estate department makes decisions based on reliable data: which works to prioritise, which audits to prepare. The next step is obvious: the property master plan and multi-year planning of the Strategic package, built on the same database. A logical continuation.
