Prospective Luxury Mixed-Use Building
Develop a single platform to bridge the gap between traditionally siloed system groups and facilitate agile and flexible interoperability
​
Drawing on the extensive experience of facility operations and apply it to implement interoperability between traditionally siloed system groups to downsize commercial portfolios .
This single platform will bring into focus all the components in the building that could be connected to a network for the purpose of creating operational efficiencies, reducing energy consumption, improving occupant experiences, achieving sustainability goals, and effectively optimizing financial performance.
Asset Management Using Drones & Laser Scanning
Asset Management is a business discipline. Building a World Class Asset Management, Maintenance & Reliability Engineering Program requires a structured program with leadership support.
A well-constructed and maintained asset register will be the basis of an efficient storage system for all Identifiable assets such as land and buildings, equipment, patents, and trademarks information. This will enable speedy retrieval of information as and when required and provide a clear line of sight to total cost of asset ownership. A multidisciplinary approach to managing assets would result in improving local finances and service delivery.
Current laser scanning technology is used in combination with point cloud conversion software to create accurate 3D as-built building models. Today’s laser scanning methodology in combination with drones demonstrates an advanced workflow that results in a cost- effective alternative to historic field measurement techniques. This provides the owner operator – with a new level of 3D modelling capability while reducing costs.
Laser scanning is a broadly applicable technology for a number of industries, especially, in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector is comparatively nascent. The technology brings myriad opportunities to building owners and operators, to monitor, assess, and analyze physical data captured from the environment. In addition to saving time and money to perform the same tasks with traditional methods, 3D scanning affords decision-makers with a revolutionary tool to evaluate existing conditions, record as-built conditions, and manage large asset portfolios.
Mobile and aerial scanning using drones will create digital models, documenting road, powerlines, and other large-scale infrastructure. 3D laser scanning creates a platform for using Building Information Modelling (BIM) by capturing the existing built environment in 3D.As mentioned, 3D scanning creates a foundation for a BIM approach by capturing existing conditions in a highly accurate, 3-dimensional format that can be used as a basis for developing project designs. The ability to provide quick, accurate detailed data in 3D has transformed its use in asset management, including operations and maintenance of asset portfolios.

Modernizing Facility Management
Facilities being a critical part of an organizations strategic business plan, we had a unique assignment to create a balanced strategic facility management approach and link with the organizations core business strategy through implementing value-added innovations and/or transformations (how), and bring into being a highly motivated, well-trained and stable workforce (who).
The facilities management (FM) profession is by no means immune to the impact of technological advancements, and the use of FM analytics and reporting. Due to the incredibly complex nature of FM, it was particularly important to take a metrics-based approach to tracking success and identifying areas for improvement.
Expectations and roles of FMs are evolving to be more strategic, analytic, and focused on the company’s core business mission. A large number of employers say there is a gap between the FM skills & knowledge they need and what their teams possess, and only a few of these organizations have defined the knowledge & skills required of their FM teams.
We implemented the following Present Day FM knowledge and skills that are diverse to create an environment that is coherent to carry out an organization’s primary operations, taking an integrated view of the infrastructure services and use it to give customer satisfaction and value for money through support for an enhancement of the core business:
