• Implementation of a comprehensive work order management system

• Development and implementation of site specific maintenance plans
• Assistance with preparation of maintenance tenders and selection of tender submissions
• Establishment and management of scheduled maintenance services to council owned commercial properties
• Management of maintenance and refurbishment of properties within the community housing portfolio of Dunedin City Council
• Engagement of trade services and implementation of long-term contracts
• Implementation and integration of a property asset management system
• Interim building compliance management
• Remediation of building compliance defects and project management

This engagement included a full Niche FM Consulting team approach for the various elements and saw us take a lead in the development, implemention and execution of Facilities and Asset Management obligations and requirements.

Our engagement was broken into 3 definitive service areas:
