SPATIAL CONTEXT
Every record knows where it is. knows where it is
A spatial structure under every building — plans, floors, rooms. Items, incidents, tasks reference exact locations so reports actually mean something.
Plans, floors, and rooms — every record references its exact location.
The spatial backbone
HIERARCHY
A drawing, its floors, its rooms
A plan is a drawing or layout — fire safety, electrical, mechanical. Each plan has floors. Each floor has spaces. The same building can have multiple plans for different uses.
- Multiple plans per building (fire, electrical, layout)
- Floors number from basements (negative) to top floor
- Spaces capture rooms, zones, plant rooms
- Print views for each plan
HIERARCHY
REFERENCES
Pin records to a real-world location
An item lives on Floor 2 in Room 204. An incident happened in Bay 3 of the underground car park. A task is for the lift on Floor 5. Every record knows where it belongs.
- Items, incidents, tasks all reference (plan, floor, space)
- Filter "what's on Floor 3" or "what's in the boiler room"
- Location picker available everywhere
- Audit reports include spatial context

Frequently asked questions
Either works. You can have plans with no drawing — just the floor-and-space structure. Useful for buildings without formal architectural drawings.
Why it matters
A risk assessment that says "Building A" isn't enough when the auditor wants to know which floor, which room. Building plans give every record in SAMRISK a real-world location — so when you say "the fire extinguisher in the basement plant room", everyone knows what you mean.
