Engineering Asset Management
Are your high-rise assets fully protected?
You have a management company that oversees your finances and provides a unique homeowner experience. But who manages your building assets? A residential high-rise building is a complex structure powered by multi-million dollar facilities systems that function to create a luxurious experience for residents - and directly serve each home within that building.
Are you confident your building systems are operating at their full capacity?
Are you confident you have all the knowledge you need for the complexities of a high-rise?
Are you prepared for any emergency?
Today's board members overseeing high-rise residential properties need to ensure that their sophisticated equipment and amenities are protected to a higher standard than other property types. HOA management services provide the foundation - our specialized engineering knowledge and protection creates the premium assurance.
What is Asset Management?
Each high-rise building is unique and can be enhanced through asset management services. Asset management services go above and beyond HOA management and are not provided by other companies in our field. Our goal in promoting these services is to help ensure that your building assets are protected and that your property values are continually enhanced through strategic programs.
Are you ready for any emergency?
Emergencies happen, and nowhere does a sprinkler leak or kitchen fire affect residents more cumulatively than in a high-rise building. Unforeseen emergencies can quickly become detrimental to a large number of residents.
We prepare high-rise properties for worst case scenarios. In the event of an emergency, you as a board member can feel confident that your assets are being safeguarded. Emergencies such as fires, floods, equipment failures and power outages can be mitigated by taking the proper steps early on. Our high level engineering emergency preparedness program offers:
- Equipment emergency preparation
- Staff training, emergency protocol review, and exit strategies
- Operating procedure development
- Emergency suitcase for responders
- Proprietary FirstService Dot System
FirstService Association Consulting provides protection assurance through its specialized engineering programs.
Our experience reveals that high-rise residences require consistent strategic programs to help board members anticipate expenses - instead of paying for the unexpected.
Helping you plan accordingly is our expertise. Our proactive engineering approach for clients has reduced work orders by 60% - and over a five-year period has resulted in a 16% reduction in corrective maintenance. That adds up to savings in both repairs and labor.
We use the latest technology to perform asset inspections, including thermal imagers, energy analyzers, and drones to gather a complete picture of performance. The tests we perform help diagnose mechanical problems, such as imbalance, misalignments, worn bearings, overheating, and more - issues that can cause pre-mature equipment failure but cannot be detected by the naked eye.
At FirstService Association Consulting, we are proactive rather than reactive. Our engineering solutions include:
- Overseeing building component replacement
- Regular equipment maintenance
- Implementing preventative maintenance programs
- Specialized equipment testing
- Web-based maintenance documentation
- Complete building assessments
Do you know how your building will hold up in five years?
By keeping track of equipment performance through documented maintenance programs, we can provide a more accurate picture of the "life" for your building's equipment and systems. The data our programs log and monitor electronically integrates with the preventative maintenance programs we have put in place so that the condition of your building systems is continually assessed. This data is also used to predict when equipment needs repair and/or replacement, in turn providing you with the information to establish an accurate reserve study budget.
In addition to helping gather data for your reserve study, we offer reserve study reviews to ensure that your property maintenance program matches equipment life expectancies. From reviewing your reserve study, we can help your association mitigate surprise costs and save money over time by extending the useful life of your equipment through proven preventative maintenance programs.
We have the knowledge and experience to keep your sophisticated high-rise building in shape. We provide:
- Maintenance documentation through our Engineering in a Box program
- Reserve study review
- Trend identification and asset reporting
We know from many decades of experience that high-rise board members and management teams are strapped with multiple projects to focus on when it comes to these sophisticated buildings. Our specialized engineering consultants take the inefficiencies out of the tracking process with tools that have been developed and streamlined for large-scale high-rise projects across California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas.
Managing any high-rise project involves planning: that is what we do best. From start to finish, our engineering tools allow us to track and schedule progress, monitor accurate cash flow, and analyze risk. We keep budgetary and time constraints in focus.
Our experience in the HOA industry is the foundation allowing us to understand your community and residents. With management services for thousands of associations nationwide, we have a deep appreciation and commitment to residents' expectations.
