Better Understand Your Needs
As we mentioned, maintenance covers a large percentage of a building’s total cost during its lifespan. Therefore, finding ways to reduce maintenance costs can have a huge impact on the efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness of current and future operations. Poor budget management or simply a lack of information regarding maintenance costs can have a severe impact on the financial standing of an organisation.
SFG20 Resource Modeller is an essential tool for facility management, as it allows for more accurate estimates regarding maintenance costs and labour requirements. Of course, this is hugely beneficial for facility managers, but also stakeholders. It is important to be able to demonstrate that cost estimates are robust and have the appropriate data to back them up. With Resource Modeller, you have that and much more.
Inform Potential Solutions During Design
SFG20 Resource Modeller can offer users the insight and understanding of maintenance requirements from an asset basis during the initial design phase. This not only informs future decisions regarding maintenance but also provides the information required to identify and consider potential solutions. Understanding more at an early stage allows for more effective use of budgets while reducing maintenance costs.
With SFG20 Resource Modeller, our customers can produce indicative annualised maintenance cost reports, establish resource requirements and quantify planned preventative maintenance by criticality. With insight and actionable data at your disposal, it’s a much easier task to seek out and implement alternative solutions to better suit your requirements and budget constraints.
Achieve Energy Consumption Targets
''Clean Growth'' has been identified as one of four strategic imperatives by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy — with the goal of halving energy use in new buildings by 2030.
Heating and powering buildings are responsible for 40% of the energy use in the UK - meaning that if we are able to make buildings more energy efficient by embracing and effectively implementing technology — there's a lot of energy and money to be saved. Of course, this means reducing energy bills, the demand for energy, and boosting economic growth. All while meeting carbon reduction targets.
Environmental awareness and an active effort to reduce energy consumption play a key role in reducing maintenance costs. As everyone strives to ensure buildings are more efficient and encourage longevity, maintenance solutions need to ensure assets operate efficiently through effective and applied maintenance interventions.
"Building managers face significant challenges including higher energy and equipment costs, increased scrutiny on safety compliance, low carbon targets, and skills shortages. We are extremely proud that Resource Modeller has been awarded for the crucial role it plays in helping them cope."
