1 Executive Summary
The Proposed WSPHA Building Infrastructure Survey & Inventory Handbook Formulation
Project is a personal initiative resulting from six (6) years on the job experience as a former
employee of the West Sepik Provincial Health Authority (WSPHA) within the Architecture &
Building Section. This proposed project ultimately aims to collaboratively empower the
WSPHA in achieving its infinite goal of “Delivering Quality Health-Care to the people of West
Sepik”; through its building infrastructure.
Thus, this proposal outlines a comprehensive plan for conducting a detailed building
infrastructure survey and creating a comprehensive building infrastructure inventory
handbook for the West Sepik Provincial Health Authority in West Sepik Province, Papua
New Guinea. As a seasoned architectural professional, I propose to lead a small technical
team committed to providing an in-depth assessment of the existing building infrastructure,
with the primary aim of capturing Two-Dimensional (2D) and Three-Dimensional (3D)
Models of each individual Health Facility and building within the health facility. Subsequently,
Values (based on current property market and hardware materials pricing trends) shall be
calculated for each building and facility as a whole. The secondary aim of the project is
aimed at providing data inventory system available online to enhance the overall
functionality, safety, and longevity of the surveyed health facilities, identifying structural
strengths, weaknesses, potential areas for improvement and value.
We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with the West Sepik Provincial Health
Authority to achieve our shared vision of fostering a safe, sustainable, and technologically
advanced healthcare infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of the people of West
Sepik Province.

2 Background
2.1 History
West Sepik Provincial Health Authority plays a pivotal role in providing essential healthcare
services to a diverse and geographically dispersed population encompassing Four (4)
Districts and Four (4) Sub-Districts of West Sepik Province. The Authority has faced
significant challenges in maintaining and managing its building infrastructure, which
comprises a network of health facilities (158 facilities as per 2020 Health Facilities Map
[Refer to Appendix - Exhibit 4]), administrative buildings, and support structures spread
across the province. Prior to the formation of the WSPHA and during its subsequent
‘Adjustment’ period; inadequate maintenance, limited resources, and a lack of
comprehensive documentation; have contributed to the deterioration of critical infrastructure,
hindering the Authority's ability to deliver optimal healthcare services.
Recognizing the urgent need for a comprehensive assessment of the existing building
infrastructure of all WSPHA health facilities, HemRod Archi - Building Solutions© (HRATS)
has developed a strategic plan to address the maintenance, renovation, and long-term
management of these facilities. In line with this objective, HRATS seeks to conduct a
thorough building infrastructure survey and create a comprehensive Building Infrastructure
Inventory Handbook for WSPHA
This initiative aims to lay the foundation for a sustainable and well-managed infrastructure
system that can accommodate the evolving healthcare needs of the local population. The
comprehensive documentation of the current state of the infrastructure, along with detailed
recommendations for improvements and maintenance, will enable the Authority to prioritize
its resources effectively, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure the safety and well-
being of both the patients and the healthcare staff.
By undertaking this ambitious project, the West Sepik Provincial Health Authority
demonstrates its commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services and fostering a
conducive environment for the local community's well-being. The successful execution of the
proposed building infrastructure survey and inventory handbook formulation will serve as a
cornerstone for the Authority's long-term infrastructure management strategy, aligning with
its mission to deliver accessible, sustainable, quality, and resilient healthcare services to all
residents of the West Sepik province.
2.2 Requirements
By presenting a thorough analysis of the Problems and Opportunities associated with the
current state of the building infrastructure within the WSPHA health facilities, the proposal
