Buildings including other types of infrastructure are long-lived assets, and often have quite high-operational costs related to heating, ventilation and
lighting, repair maintenance etc. Research has shown that the cost of of construction, whereas the cost of operation equates to 35 times the build
costs.
Equity Facility Management not only assesses the whole life costs termed “Life Cycle Costs” LCC, but more importantly goes further in ensuring that Clients
are always advised about the “Life Cycle Analysis” LCA which is more concerned with the full range of environmental impacts of a building, covering
embodied impacts, construction and operational effects, together with those associated with asset disposal. In addition, this approach will ensure that the
scope of LCA encompasses impacts on landll, water and biodiversity.
Given the above approach and considering today’s economic environment, Facility Management stakeholders are increasingly expected to do more with
less. With a limited maintenance budget you are expected to optimize resources, minimize costs, prevent breakdowns and extend the life of aging
assets.
Recognizing this as an opportunity to support our customers, Equity Facility Management has aligned its services with the International Asset
Management Standard ISO 55000. Equity Facility Management is committed to achieving ISO 55000 certification and continues to work towards it. In
addition to our full range of Facilities and Asset Management Services, Equity Facility Management will work with you to understand your assets, improve
your maintenance processes and drive down long-term costs by providing a tailored Facility Management solution and a clear roadmap for all your Facility
and Asset needs.
By increasing certainty in your Facility Management costs, we help our clients plan. Once we gain an understanding of our client’s Facilities and the
requirements they generate in terms of maintenance, repair and upgrading, we then work with you to guarantee your annual Facility Management costs.
