06 · Facilities & contracting

Buildings, kept.

Facilities management and contracting for owners who want their property looked after the way a private office looks after a family's assets.

01Our approach

A building is an asset for decades.
We look after it that way.

Too often, a facilities contract ends at the signature, and what follows is a ticketing system. Ours begins there.

A principal stays accountable for every property, and the portfolio stays small enough for that to be true. The people who walk the building with you are the people who answer for it.

02What we keep

One contract, every service.

  1. 01

    Hard services

    Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, fabric and finishes, planned and reactive maintenance.

  2. 02

    Soft services

    Cleaning, security, landscaping and front of house, to the standard of a private residence.

  3. 03

    Contracting

    Fit-out, refurbishment and building works, delivered under the same accountable relationship.

  4. 04

    Corporate & institutional management

    The operational side of an office or an institution, run so that its leaders don't have to.

  5. 05

    Office management

    Workplaces kept, supplied and ready: the details that let people do their best work.

  6. 06

    Owner reporting

    Clear, regular reports an owner can read in minutes, with a principal to discuss them.

03Care in the details

The tactile side of care.

Brass polished, stone honed, systems tested before they fail. The work is mostly invisible, and it should be. What an owner sees is a building that is simply right.

04Taking on a building

Calm from the first day.

  1. 01

    Walk-through

    A principal walks the property with you, and listens.

  2. 02

    Condition review

    A written review of the building's systems, fabric and contracts.

  3. 03

    Plan of care

    What we will keep, improve and report on, agreed in writing.

  4. 04

    Handover

    A quiet transition from the current providers, with nothing dropped.

05Reporting

Reporting you can read.

One short report, on a schedule you choose: what was done, what is planned, what it cost, and what we recommend.

  • Written for owners, not engineers
  • Costs set against the plan of care
  • Recommendations with reasons, never pressure
