Facilities Management Consultancy
-
Mace's facilities management consultancy has been commissioned by Independent Television News.
A multi-faceted consultancy focused on facilities performance
At Mace, a single and fundamental thread runs through all of our consultancy services—maximised performance of our clients' facilities. Whether we are finding efficiencies in a building’s systems, providing interim management of the daily facilities operations, or helping companies to accommodate more employees in less space, we are always focused on getting the best out of your property and helping you to reach your corporate objectives.
To make sense of the breadth of this service we have split it into 3 separate aspects, asset performance, service performance, and finally the workplace design itself.
1. Asset Performance
Performance of facilities can only ever be optimised when the physical asset is correct for your business in terms of location, design, condition and attributes.
Portfolio planning aligned with your corporate objectives
Both for existing properties and new buildings, Macro's facilities consultants provide expertise, analysis, advice and planning. With services ranging from ownership and leasing reviews to evaluating the condition and investment needs of buildings, we provide detailed plans identifying options and accurately aligning your property decisions with your business goals.
Assurance that your buildings are right for your business
We evaluate how your buildings meet your needs and look at their performance in terms of layout, occupation and use. We are experts in the examination of assets, looking at issues like current condition and investment needs, maintenance and lifecycle, health and safety, sustainability and operability, and ensuring that the building consistently performs as efficiently and effectively as possible from the first day of occupation and beyond.
An operations view on design and construction
Once the option of a new building has been chosen and design and construction gets underway, Macro consultants help to ensure that the facilities performance is considered and accounted for from the very start of the process and carried through to project handover. Because we sit inside Mace, an international construction and consultancy firm, we have a deep understanding how to examine and drive efficiency and facilities performance across the full development cycle.
2. Service Performance
Once the asset is in use, its maximised performance requires efficient facilities management tuned to your needs.
Efficient, high-quality service in everyday operations
Our consultants provide expertise around the day-to-day management of our customers' facilities. Our expertise can be applied across the entire service cycle from strategic choice of model, through operational efficiency programmes to service audits. Whether we're assisting with management and governance for in house teams, advising on outsourcing approaches or helping you to procure your suppliers, our work has a sharp focus on the efficient performance of your facilities.
Interim management with a long-term impact.
We have significant experience placing our own people within our clients' organisations. Filling roles from executive board level to operational management roles, we help companies across diverse sectors to develop FM programmes, turn around failing PFI providers, establish rigorous maintenance management regimes, and lead complex relocation programmes.
Reduced costs and improved service across your supply chain.
Because our distinctive service delivery model is at the heart of our business, supply chain management and services procurement is one of our core competencies. For our customers, this means we can undertake a full range of service including market analysis, sourcing advice and procurement action including OJEU compliant action for public sector clients. Because of our proven management model, we know what it takes to ensure the best quality service, value and performance for suppliers, from caterers and cleaners to maintenance services for a full range of public and private sector clients.
3. Workplace
As a significant cost to any business, the best use of facilities is a critical component in the achievement of best performance.
Strategy and planning to maximise space efficiency
Research tells us that major corporate organisations waste up to 45% in office costs through inefficiency-much of which can be attributed to ineffective space usage. Our workplace specialists have extensive experience working with clients to perform space audits to identify vacant or underutilised space, space planning to accommodate business demands and support cultural change, and space strategy to provide an informed and flexible framework for determining space allocation in the future.
Innovative workplaces that reflect your brand and image
Our workplace branding and interior design specialists first gain a deep understanding of your business, and then apply that knowledge to the design, specification and creation of innovative workplaces. We create work environments that support work flow and culture, reinforce brand, and build in ample flexibility and efficiency. Our objective is to deliver the best workplace to meet both your current and future needs.
Relocation management with a people-focused approach
Any move, whether a small churn or a major relocation has the potential to cause considerable disruption. Mace Macro plans and delivers these programmes in complex and often demanding environments, working across stakeholders to ensure adherence to deadlines and budgets. At the core of our service is an understanding of the user; we work with human resources and other central services to ensure effective change management.
