Facilities & Property (Asset) Management

Facilities and Property Asset management

From the receptionists who welcome visitors to the security staff providing a reassuring presence and the cleaners keeping the building looking presentable, many businesses rely upon a whole network of essential support services. These services may not be core to the main business activity and UrbanIS can undertake outsourcing and in so doing, bring much needed additional benefits:

Overall management and integration – Simplify the process and minimise the time you spend managing your complex building operations

External experience – Adept in the process of knowledgement management UrbanIS attribute experiences acquired through local and distant participation with other industry which ultimately translate into direct business benefits

Single service culture – Through an integrated services approach, UrbanIS create a common customer service culture across all facilities management requirements

Tailored to your requirements – Facilities management consultancy provides an important addition to the UrbanIS portfolio of services - allowing us to continue our relationships with clients well after the construction process is complete allowing end use of the facilities. We differ from other facilities management providers in that our understanding of FM issues is underpinned by hands-on experience in building design and construction giving us a much clearer perspective on occupational maintenance issues and whole-life costing.
