COMPLETE PROJECT AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
OUR APPROACH:
For companies wanting a complete solution. We offer a model combining BOTH services for a seamless collaboration between property design and build, and property management. The below illustrates the smooth process transitions involved in the complete project and facilities management solution. We have used this process on many recent projects, resulting in an efficient, successful outcome for many of our clients.

HOW THIS SOLUTION WORKS
The Property and FM consultant at Workspace Fusion will carry out the property selection, lease negotiations, tender selection and full management of the D&B or fit out companies. We will tender, select and mobilise services and FM contracts. Also if required, we will coordinate the project management of the office move into or within the space.
All aspects are managed with a full project timeline and budget costing plan. JCT contracts for builds and FM, tenders and contracts are all issued in line with the clients requirements. We also provide processes to manage the on site services going forward. The business can then manage the FM service and on going compliance, once STEADY STATE is achieved at project completion

“Using this model of management and having one point of contact to oversee both Build and FM, was without doubt, key to the success of the delivery of this project. The transfer of information between Build and FM contracts remains fluid throughout the process. Having someone else leading on this for us enabled us to continue to focus on our business throughout this period of time. This has proved to be invaluable to us whilst we have been building some of the best workplaces in the world.”
Gymshark later went on to win the Best Office Interior in the West Midlands award 2018-2019.

DIFFERENCES OF APPROACH AND DELIVERY OF A COMBINED FITOUT & FM SERVICE
The integration of building fit out and FM service, provides an opportunity to maximise both aspects in terms of value for money, impact and risk mitigation. The key aspects to this are:
COMPLIANCE
Ensuring compliance is managed right from the very beginning of the project. Particularly with the building occupied during fit out works.Ensuring a safe, healthy and compliant environment for the occupants.
BEST VALUE
Through effectively managing the warranties provided from the fit out company, to support the maintenance of the building and ensuring selection of materials is durable and cost effective for ongoing maintenance.
KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
A single source of information and building record is created. The FM service is able to be fully involved in the fit out collecting key documentation and knowledge of installations and the design. FM services can be scoped to dovetail effectively with the fit out design and adjustments made to maintain the key contract principles and vision.
FIT OUT REVIEW
Real time review of the design, such as material selection for flooring, finishes, joinery fittings and furniture installation, for maintainability and snagging is achieved. Eliminating waste and lost time, whilst maintaining the project programme.
