OVERVIEW
Identify the cost of delivering your maintenance strategy in minutes
SFG20 guides you on what maintenance should be carried out, how often it should be completed and whether it is statutory or not. Turning that maintenance regime into a credible budget or bid, however, is often a slow, spreadsheet-driven exercise that depends heavily on individual knowledge.
SFG20 Optimiser transforms maintenance regimes held in Facilities-iQ into detailed cost models in seconds. Apply your own labour models, rate cards, commercial assumptions and delivery rules, then compare different scenarios before committing to a budget, contract or operational change.
This gives your team control to apply its expertise while making the overall process faster, more consistent and easier to repeat.
Use SFG20 Optimiser to create clear cost breakdowns that support budgets and bids, and understand the financial and operational impact of your maintenance strategy before making decisions.
RULES ENGINE
A powerful rules engine, driven by plain English
SFG20 Optimiser’s rules engine lets you define how your organisation delivers maintenance and apply that approach consistently across every cost model.
Rules can include or exclude tasks, or adjust cost, time and frequency, using information already held in your maintenance regime. This can include task classification, trade, frequency, compliance references, asset type and location.
There is no need to build every rule field by field. Describe the required change in plain English, such as “Exclude all Orange classification tasks from the Electrical trade", and the AI Rule Builder will convert it into a structured rule using your organisation’s own trades, skills and regime data.
You review and approve every generated rule before it is applied. Rule sets can be reused across scenarios, previewed against a regime and supported by a documented justification.
With the rules engine, you can:

HOW IT WORKS
How SFG20 Optimiser works
Build from your SFG20 maintenance regime
Use the maintenance regime and asset data already held within Facilities-iQ as the foundation for your cost model.
Configure your costing approach
Apply your rules, labour models and commercial assumptions to reflect how maintenance is delivered within your organisation
Apply rate cards
Attach relevant rates, fees, uplifts and assumptions to create a detailed costed view of maintenance delivery.
Create and compare scenarios
Test changes to scope, frequency, rates or delivery assumptions and compare the results side by side.
Make evidence-based decisions
Use clear cost breakdowns and documented assumptions to support budgets, bids and maintenance decisions.
BENEFITS
Faster maintenance costing
Reduce manual spreadsheet work and create costed maintenance regimes more quickly.
More defensible budgets and bids
Support pricing and budget discussions with clear cost breakdowns, consistent rules and documented assumptions.
Consistent costing methodology
Apply organisation-specific rules, rates and assumptions consistently across teams, tenders and portfolios.
Clearer resource planning
Understand labour requirements, trade demand and workforce implications before committing to an approach.
Compare scenarios with confidence
See the financial and operational impact of changes to maintenance scope or delivery before implementation.
Rapid re-costing
Recalculate costs quickly when scope, rates or assumptions change, without rebuilding complex spreadsheets.
