Software Solutions for Capital Planning and Facilities Management

Consultants

Fees keep dropping and client expectations keep rising.

To stay ahead, you need to improve efficiency and clearly differentiate your firm. Buildingweb can help.

Buildingweb is an online tool to support your capital planning and project management services. It's been designed by engineers and managers to allow you to cost-effectively deliver outstanding consulting services to your clients. Using a fast, simple, intuitive, interface for capturing and communicating your client's real estate portfolio information, Buildingweb will impress your clients and add value to your services, and leave clients with a lasting impression.

From your clients' perspective, Buildingweb changes transitory knowledge into something more permanent delivering long-term value.

Buildingweb Platform

The system handles salient data and photos of each building as the foundation, also allowing the user to organize buildings into portfolios. Different modules are available for buildings and portfolios providing more flexibility and control. Features include:

  • Let's you produce building level or portfolio level summaries of upcoming, prioritized capital work without having to worry about spreadsheet errors
  • Organized in a project-oriented hierarchy, reflecting how capital projects actually get implemented
  • Produce cash flow and funding analyses at the building or portfolio level
  • Produce full Building Condition Evaluation reports at the click of a mouse (reports that meet the requirements of GE Real Estate, GMAC, Lasalle Investment Management, etc)
  • Produce Reserve Fund Studies well suited to the needs of Condominium or Strata Corporations and Municipalities
  • Edit data from anywhere you have an Internet connection, improving work-at-home options and inter-office coordination

Buildingweb CP - Capital Planning

Buildingweb CP will help you build capital plans that deliver added value, foster ongoing relationships, and result in more repeat business.

Buildingweb CP allows you or your clients to:

  • Update the projects as work is completed or deferred
  • Track the status of projects with respect to approvals
  • Use a graphical interface to drill down into the database with ease to facilitate the annual budgeting process
  • Review and balance annual expenditures at the portfolio level
  • Handle amortization of projects, for tenant charge-back
  • Look for opportunities to generate economies of scale across portfolios

Rather than just providing your client with a one-time report, which is likely to be forgotten, you are handing them a live, dynamic database. They can keep it current themselves, or engage you to help keep it current. Either way, the information you provide no longer ends up on a shelf, it becomes part of your client's ongoing business processes.

Buildingweb PM - Project Management

  • Take planned projects, convert them into actual projects, and track them through to completion
  • Make project contracts, schedules, minutes, certificates for payment and so on available to the project team
  • Simplify communication, reduce waste, and be sure the project team is all on the same page

Buildingweb TL - Team Library

Buildingweb TL is a general purpose, web-based document manager that stores documents at either the building or portfolio level. Use it to:

  • Post documents pertinent to ongoing building operations: drawings, certificates, or reports. You'll never need to search for missing information again
  • Make capital planning or project management more powerful by capturing quotes, or history relevant to the capital projects.

You could even use Buildingweb TL as a platform to deliver any other services to your clients. If you need to send or share documents, Buildingweb TL works.

Buildingweb BD - Building Dashboard

  • Graphically present data and interpret it from any type of sensor that generates csv files: temperature, humidity, vibration, wind speed, precipitation, etc.
  • Allows your clients to monitor the performance of their building, or check that they are meeting lease obligations
  • Monitor and validate energy usage before and after retrofits

Success Stories

"With the growing number of pressures put on Municipalities such as City growth, aging infrastructure, and reduced funding, the need to focus our limited resources where it will have the most impact has been a critical part of our strategic direction. Buildingweb has helped provide needed visibility into our capital planning and is assisting us to better define our short and long term priorities."
