FM Solutions provides a unique combination of specialized services to assist facility owners in evaluating potential building acquisitions and improving the operational efficiency of their already owned assets. Our methodology delivers meaningful data to support decision making, establish defensible budgets, align facility plans with organizational strategy and strengthen management recommendations. Certified Facility Managers, architects and engineers deliver these services fully appreciating the importance of documenting the current condition of building assets to achieve their optimum economic performance.
FM Solutions’ three-phased approach to the evaluation of buildings (including equipment & systems) supports building owners/tenants with valuable data prior to finalizing any long term agreements on a facility investment. Our prior experience as facility managers and operators of a wide range of building types provides the basis for the following approach:
-
Validate Business Functionality – determine if the facility can be used to support the operational needs of the business on a long term basis.
-
Evaluate Operational Integrity – assess if the building is structurally sound and has adequate electrical/mechanical system capacity to support the intended long range business operations.
-
Develop Economic Parameters – develop a range of cost forecasts based on efficiently operating the facility to support the core business functions.
The incremental use of this three-phased method enhances the ultimate decision making process prior to making a commitment for an asset investment and is based on a realistic analysis of use, condition and operational economics.
FM Solutions performs detailed building assessments as a planning tool to help facility owners understand the current state of their building assets. This provides a basis to proactively budget for operational building improvement investments. In addition, the ability of facility owner/operators to accurately estimate current deferred maintenance costs and forecast future facility renewal costs is improved.
Many facilities are in violation of several rules and regulations associated with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. Typically, this is not a secret to the building owner but the difficulty lies within identifying exactly what needs to be done to correct these violations. FM Solutions can bring this expertise to the client by providing thorough ADA parking evaluations, site evaluations, and building interior evaluations.
