facilities management consulting
Our Facilities Management Consulting services are designed to help you assess and plan for both current and future maintenance needs—for your buildings and grounds alike. We provide clear, actionable information that your organization can use to make informed decisions, reduce costs, and improve long-term outcomes.
Whether it’s performing a one-time assessment or helping implement an ongoing program, we can bring in trusted, proven experts to handle necessary maintenance and repairs. We also specialize in streamlining existing maintenance operations, helping you get more value from your current resources.
One of the greatest benefits of our services is the ability to extend your planning horizon—creating a roadmap that looks years ahead, not just months. As with all of our services, we work closely with each client to develop a customized plan and budget that aligns with your property’s goals and resources.
Options, for example, can include:
Per Project/Hourly Consulting: This service is best for those who need flexibility to have work done on demand, while not being locked into a maintenance contract.
Monthly Management (flat monthly fee plus the cost of repairs performed): This service is great for large properties — clients needing a great deal of work or a lot of consulting on how to best execute work on their campus.
Maintenance Planning: We build a Benchmark Report service to create a maintenance task checklist and/or cost projections for you to effectively manage your maintenance program — with or without our continued involvement.
Project Management: We frequently evaluate building systems (e.g., roofs, mechanical equipment, paving, etc) and develop appropriate maintenance program(s) for presentation.
We regularly create specifications for repair and replacement, conduct the competitive bidding process, and then administer and follow the work to ensure that it is done correctly.

Property Evaluations
Evaluation Reports
A Property Evaluation Report provides a “snapshot” of the physical condition of a building or campus through a written evaluation and photographs documenting existing conditions and identifies areas of immediate concern. It does not just identify ALL problems, but a Property Evaluation will identify the materials and systems that make up the building and document their current condition. To prepare a Property Evaluation Report, SCPC staff will visit the site and perform a visual inspection of the property. Our written report will discuss how to maintain your systems to achieve the longest possible service life and provide recommendations for areas that need attention and offer a time frame in which the work should be completed to be most effective. The report includes an analysis of building(s) interior and exterior and a limited review of the grounds. The report is a great tool for facility managers or congregations to determine if you are putting your maintenance efforts and dollars in the right places and to help identify issues you may not be aware of; they are invaluable in evaluating how much life is left in systems, for planning and repair purposes.
