Our approach offers optimum balance between risk, performance and cost.
Buildings are designed and constructed for a specific purpose. However, with time things can change. Maintenance costs creep up and the demand for such a building may not be what it used to be. The original building intent is not fit for purpose for its current use, or it no longer supports the strategic direction of the organisation. A decision needs to be made.
Our role is to help you figure out the best use and value of the building. We help you decide with data the right decision for you from demolish, redevelop, refurbish, change the use, invest more in maintenance, sell, or simply do nothing.
Our Approach
To make decisions about what to do with a particular facility we need to:
- Understand the current performance of the building (condition, compliance status, functional suitability, resource efficiency, occupant safety and wellbeing, occupant productivity, and brand support amongst many other factors).
- Understand the potential alternative scenarios and what will it cost to achieve a more desirable future state for the building.
Based on extensive industry experience, Macutex has developed a structured 3 step approach to assist you to make a risk and value based decision.
- Identify the feasible options based on both (i) business objectives and (ii) relevant physical constraints.
- Undertake a detailed assessment of the building onsite together with collating and incorporating relevant supporting information as the basis for determining the building’s existing performance.
- For the different possible and relevant options previously identified, define a costed work plan for each and a comparative analysis across all options.
Unlike traditional consulting engagements resulting in static written reports, Macutex makes the process more transparent, intuitive, and visual with interactive analysis and decision-making dashboards.
We Have Worked With A Range Of Organisations To Provide Them With A Clear Picture of what their options are
Macutex has worked with many clients in the public, private and not-for profit sectors to simplify the uncertain, and successfully demonstrate the reasons behind the decisions being made and presented to key stakeholders.
Such projects include:
- Repurposing of disused railway facilities for community use
- Business case for demolition and site redevelopment
- The optimal level of ongoing asset maintenance and renewal to maximise future revenue
