Facilities management

Gleeds’ facilities management experts help clients to realise maximum value from their estate, through delivering cost certainty and revealing where improvements can be made.

The substantial savings we unlock, and services we provide, improve both profitability and shareholder value.

Our offering spans operational, commercial, compliance and asset services, and includes both operational ‘hands on’ delivery of facilities management in addition to our consultancy services.

Accurate cost information and strategic investment have never had a more important role in the sustainable management of an estate.

Gleeds’ research shows that over a 20-year property lifecycle, for every £1 of capital expenditure, £3 will be spent on maintenance and £30 on operational costs.

Effective operations and facilities management

Effective operations and facilities management are key to protecting investment and maximising revenue. We help clients to understand the real cost of ownership across their property portfolio, allowing them to budget more accurately and plan maintenance more competently.

Taking full advantage of our extensive pricing database, we carry out an independent audit and benchmarking of costs across all aspects of facilities management.

Highlighting where improvements can be made, we develop a targeted strategy that addresses inefficiencies and maximises opportunities. Above all, our approach is focused on achieving the best value – not the lowest cost.

Clients benefit from access to our independent partnerships with ‘best of breed’ CAFM system providers, which enable them to make informed decisions using accurate, up-to-date information, and tailors service agreements to asset availability.

Streamlining the supply chain

By re-engineering and managing the supply chain, our team is able to save clients an average of 20% on operations and maintenance spend throughout the property lifecycle, without any detrimental effect on service provision.

Our robust and auditable tender process is measured against the latest market trends and material and labour costs. Once suppliers are in place, we handle all cost and supplier relations.

Compliance is key

We manage risk and liability by ensuring full legislative compliance, giving clients confidence that their business is meeting the highest standards and the latest health & safety and building legislation.

This approach has generated significant improvements for our clients, helping them to provide greater levels of assurance in the quality of compliance information, and improve compliance management across their estates.

Delivering operational excellence

Our bespoke model supports measurable operational benefit, which allows our clients to make the changes they need to improve their key operational metrics. Additionally, we run a helpdesk service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to support our clients with any operational issues.
