FACILITIES AND ASSET MANAGEMENT

Evans & Peck provide a range of independent advisory and management services to owners, users and creators of significant facilities and assets.  Our clients recognise our ability to understand the real cost and risk inherent in both the ownership and use of assets and related services.  We are recognised for our innovative yet pragmatic solutions and use of technology.

The Challenge

Owners are often faced with making trade-offs between minimising cost and risk while still appropriately supporting core business.  These complex decisions require a practical understanding of asset performance, use, life-cycles and costs, both operational & capital.  Additionally owners must protect their business from political, environmental, and industrial risk.

Users of facilities and assets demand uninterrupted operation, quick responses and lower supply & transaction costs while they focus on their core business.  The facilities and assets also play an important part in creating and sustaining an organisation’s culture.

Creators of facilities and assets must understand the operational needs of the owners and users. Communication of those needs and the alignment of objectives require contractual pragmatism and agility.

On average, 15% of an organisation's operating costs are expended on asset (hard) services. As such there is often relentless downward pressure on perceived 'compressible' expenditure. Such demands need to be evaluated against the risk of impact on core business and operations.
