Exclusive Webinar: Deciding the Fate of Aging Buildings

Date: Thursday, February 23, 2012
Time: 11:00 AM Pacific/2:00 PM Eastern
Length: 45 minutes
Fees: This webinar is complimentary

How do organizations decide whether to continue investing in facilities or if it is time to plan for disposition?  It takes a strategic approach based on accurate and current data.  The vital element is understanding, through accurate data and analysis, the state, function, and users of the buildings.  Without access to detailed information regarding these issues, facilities managers and capital planners find it virtually impossible to decide whether buildings warrant further investment or are ready for disposition.

In this live webinar, learn the steps to strategically and holistically analyze and prioritize your facility portfolio. Using case studies from your peers, we’ll show you how to gather accurate facility condition and cost data, objectively prioritize facilities, and make intelligent investment choices resulting in cost savings over time.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Gather accurate and objective facility condition data
  • Use analytics to compare buildings and determine  which are in the greatest need of updates, repairs or replacements
  • Analyze and prioritize buildings based on facility condition and remediation costs, functionality, demographics, and organizational objectives
