Strategic facility consulting - transforming management of the built environment

Posted September 2009

Economic uncertainty is forcing many organizations to scrutinize their property portfolios for proof of efficiency and signs of slack.

Changing business needs dictate that assets must work harder and smarter.

Larger portfolios especially suffer from a fragmented planning approach and a lack of knowledge about individual properties.

Legacy issues arising from mergers and acquisitions may lead to a mismatch of property, and decisions are often made in less than ideal conditions. This impacts on investment planning decisions and the resulting inefficiencies and excessive operating costs are very visible on the balance sheet.

How we can help

Faithful+Gould has developed a new strategic facility consulting service for the property asset management market.

This provides clients with state-of-the-art information on the condition, performance and costs of their property portfolio, capital costs, operating costs, infrastructure, maintenance, energy performance and security status, in a new dynamic format.

This new approach transforms the management of the built environment into a sustainable core of operational proficiency.

Clients are empowered to maximize their business results by aligning their mission and objectives within a defined strategy for their built environment.

Long-term planning and prioritizing become practicable propositions, supported by accurate data, and the business avoids being compromised by the risk of under-performing capital assets.

The service is comprised of the following customizable elements:

  • Condition assessments
  • Energy and environmental analysis
  • Security and compliance audits
  • Life cycle capital planning
  • Sustainability consulting

These elements are integrated to provide tangible means that optimize operations, increase accountability and provide the key performance indicators, benchmarks and measurements to understand and best manage the lifespan of any facility.

We partnered with 4tell Solutions, LLC(this is an external link and will open in a new window) to produce a customized web-enabled tool to support the service.
