Perhaps the most profound long-term cost savings program your organization can implement is a standardized preventive maintenance solution.  More importantly, one that actually gets utilized because it is easy to setup and easy to use.

Preventive maintenance is essential to quality building management and should be a core activity of your property engineering team. According to a recent report by Jones Lang LaSalle, an organization that spends portfolio wide, at the industry benchmark level, will experience a 545% (or $0.33 per square foot) return over time.  Particularly in the areas of energy reduction and extended life to your assets. It is clear that an effective preventive maintenance program is significantly more cost effective than making large capital expenditures to purchase new equipment. The technology that generates these kinds of returns is an integral part of the Building Engines CMMS system.

For management, maintenance, and service companies, including Building Engines CMMS as a component of your overall service plan is particularly attractive to potential new clients. Building Engines can help you make the case that your organization can deliver a 545% return and that you have a superior understanding of the owners needs and how to enhance their financial position. In addition, organizations that utilize Building Engines benefit from intangibles; such as work performed in a timely manner, visibility to both occupants and owners, complying with regulatory requirements and by building a reputation as a leader in operations management.

For property owners, the reason to invest in Building Engines is clear. The cost to savings ratio for implementing Building Engines CMMS results in a significant savings within the first year and even greater cost savings over time. Long-term benefits are similar to what property management companies enjoy, with the added benefit of having the capacity to implement a single standard preventive maintenance program across and entire portfolio.
