From an existing building to
a clear first read
A read you can
actually act on
The Adaptive Reuse Index tells you whether a building deserves a closer look, and exactly why or why not, so a feasibility study can start with a clear brief.
Office vacancy is at
a 31-year high
The empty space sits mostly in lower-grade buildings, the ones with tired services and few amenities, and most of those are older. Owners are asking what else a building could be.
Knowing where to start is the hard part. The Adaptive Reuse Index gives owners a confident first read, so the conversation with Slattery's advisors starts earlier and with a better brief.
Now you know which building.
Next, take it further.
How the
score is built
Every question maps to something that has stopped a real conversion in Australia: how deep the floors are, how high the ceilings are, whether daylight reaches every room, what the services can take, and what the planning rules allow.
Some answers cap the score outright. A heritage listing or ceilings that are too low hold a building down no matter how good the rest of it is.
The weightings are published, so you can see why a building scored the way it did. The data behind it is Slattery's, from decades of Australian projects, not an overseas model.
Before you ask
The honest answers
Q
Is it really free?
Yes. No card and no trial that expires. You enter your name, email and organisation to get access, and your result is sent to that address.
Q
How accurate is a twelve-question screen?
It is an early-stage read, built to tell you whether a building deserves a proper study. It is the starting point for one, not a substitute. Approximate answers are fine, and the result says clearly what it cannot know.
Q
What if my building scores badly?
That is a useful answer. The score shows what is holding the building back, and where the value sits in the one you have. Plenty of buildings do more as an upgrade than as a conversion, and Slattery’s asset upgrade team can take it from there.
Q
Does it only cover apartments?
No. The screen scores for apartments, student housing, hotel and co-living, because most recent Australian conversions have not been apartments.
Q
Do I need drawings?
No. If you know the building roughly, you can run it. The decade it was built, the approximate floor plate, whether the windows open.
Q
What happens to my building's details?
You get your result on screen and by email. Nothing is published or shared. See Slattery's privacy policy before entering anything sensitive.
Q
Who built this?
Slattery, who've spent decades advising on Australian construction cost and delivery. The methodology comes from that practice, not a generic global model.
