Due Diligence Reviews
Sometimes an independent, experienced pair of eyes can provide new ideas or outlooks that markedly improve the project. Hidden cost savings, design omissions, or challenging the status quo can all contribute to finding a ‘better way.’
Deliverable: A due diligence audit report, complete with red-lined drawings and/or highlighted contract documents. It will summarize the next steps and indicate the possible savings. These reviews can be completed in 1-2 weeks and can often provide savings ~1-10% of the construction cost.Transition Management
There is a gap in the delivery of most projects, where the project team finishes and facilities management starts. Often the transition and hand-over is done poorly, with little to no communication with the end-user. We offer a specialized service to manage this transition. Our specialist managers will ensure:
- Security codes and access cards are assigned to specific staff and activated
- Phones are programmed and numbers assigned to specific staff
- Coordination of the stocking of critical supplies in advance to move in
- Key signage and wayfinding is installed
- All new furniture, IT, and AV has been planned, procured, coordinated and installed as required by the stakeholders
- All relocation of existing furniture, IT, AV and personal possessions has been thoroughly planned, communicated and coordinated in line with client requirements
- All existing equipment decommissioning and relocation has been fully planned, including any required CSA certifications
- Site orientations and staff relocation plans have been created and communicated
- Training for new equipment and systems has been organized
- Asset tagging and the tracking of any asset changes has been logged with facilities teams
- Operational contracts have been updated (janitorial, life safety inspections, maintenance)
