Facility Asset Management and Capital Planning Software Solutions
MACTEC’s Facility Lifecycle Group delivers state-of-the-art Facility Asset
Management software products and services for corporate, industrial,
education, government, and military institutions. With a focus on financial
return based on solid engineering practices, MACTEC’s approach to facility
asset management shifts the focus from reactive, short-term responses to
proactive long-term solutions.
The Vertex, capital planning software, is used to assist building owners,
facility managers, and engineering staff in documenting their inventory of
existing facility assets, evaluating current conditions, forecasting asset
deterioration, and budgeting for building system life-cycle costs. Vertex is a
decision support tool that helps owners determine how best to allocate scarce
budgets for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of facility assets based on
objective, engineering–based condition and performance data.
The financial models within Vertex will give you metric-based information
regarding:
- Your asset's condition and its useful life
- The ability to run "what if" budgets, forecasts, and lifecycle analyses
- Forecasting scenarios that help you optimize capital spending
- ROI on maintenance, repair, and replacement costs
With 25% - 40% or more of a corporation’s investments tied up in its facility
assets the opportunity to leverage the benefits of best-practice Facility Asset
Management & Financial investment Analysis systems and methodologies is too
lucrative to ignore. The sooner you put your system in place the sooner you
start realizing the benefits. Vertex is based on proven and objective
engineering and financial principles which ensure the plans you develop will
produce the greatest return.
Building Information Modeling for Asset Management (BIMam™)
MACTEC FLG features an innovative solution combining a modified BIM (Building
Information Model) and structured facility asset management process,
known as ‘BIMam™’, Building Information Modeling for Asset Management.
The business case for implementing BIM in the design/build stage pales when
compared to applying BIM technology combined with an Engineering Management
System (EMS) to manage a building once constructed and occupied. According to a
2006 International Facility Management Association (IFMA) study the occupancy
cost of owning a building over a 67-year life cycle represents a cost four times
greater than the cost to construct. Hence, the typical 15 percent reduction in
operations and maintenance gained through implementing BIMam produces twice the
savings than just using BIM to reduce construction costs would produce. The
software transforms objective facts into meaningful metrics, actionable projects
and facilitates modeling various funding scenarios, as well as variable decision
matrix relative to the importance or preference for impacting one performance
metric over another competing metric.
BIMam can show color coded performance metrics on each building and also for all
aggregated buildings. Selected metrics can include Mission Dependency Index
(MDI), Facility Condition Index (FCI), Space Utilization Index (SUI), Mission
Readiness Index (MRI), and Return on Investment (ROI). Each of these metrics are
color coded using the DoD defined red-yellow-green system, with green
representing good condition, yellow representing fair condition and red
indicating failing condition. These visual representations permit a fast
transfer of knowledge to executive level decision makers in a dashboard format.
