A Relationship-based Approach to Sustainable Facilities Management is needed to meet current and emerging economic and environmental requirements.
Traditional methods for planning, procuring, and delivery repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction are incapable of consistently delivery of quality outcomes on time and on time.
Internal and external planning, procurement, and project delivery teams need to be integrated on an early and ongoing basis with a robust programmatic framework. Existing tools and support services to mitigate waste/rework and enable consistent quality outcomes on time and on budget are readily available.
Contractual collaboration commitment from all parties
Realistic, valid cost and technical requirement planning
Initial and ongoing training
Quantitative metrics
Empowerment of those doing the work
How can you integrate internal and external teams?
The solution is to improve technical and cost transparency early in the planning phase and maintain communication and collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.
While there is a lot of talk about centralizing information, data must be current and actionable, as well as in a common format that everyone can easily understand. Be honest, is this the case in all your projects?
