Step Off the Facilities Treadmill With an Effective FCA Strategy

Many university facility directors are drowning in a sea of deferred maintenance. The never-ending list of repairs and the constant struggle to keep up creates a feeling of being stuck on a treadmill.
We can help you step off the facilities treadmill using an effective FCA strategy to prioritize projects, secure funding, and enhance campus planning.

Here’s how an FCA Strategy can be your off switch:

  • Diagnosis: It provides a comprehensive picture of your campus buildings’ health. Just like a doctor’s checkup, it reveals the current condition, identifies areas needing renewal, and estimates the associated costs.

  • Enhance Planning: Think of it as a roadmap. By understanding the current state and future needs, you can chart a course to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

  • Improve Decision-making: No more flying blind. An FCA strategy equips you with a complete inventory of your buildings and systems, allowing you to make data-driven decisions about repairs and renovations.

  • Prioritize Needs: It helps you identify the most critical issues and prioritize deferred maintenance and renewal projects. This ensures you’re addressing the most pressing needs first.

  • Secure Funding: Securing funding can be a battle. An FCA strategy arms you with the data leadership needs to understand the operational and capital budget requirements. It essentially translates your building needs into a compelling financial argument.

The Benefits: Taking Control

By implementing an effective FCA strategy, you’ll step off the facilities treadmill and take control. This translates into several key benefits:

  • Enhanced Campus Planning: Strategic planning becomes more effective when you have a clear understanding of your facilities’ condition and future needs.
  • Improved Decision-Making: Data empowers better choices. The FCA strategy provides the information needed to make informed decisions about your campus infrastructure.
  • Prioritized Needs: No more scrambling to address emergencies. You’ll have a prioritized list of projects, ensuring you’re tackling the most critical issues first.
  • Secured Funding: With data in hand, you can make a strong case for the financial resources needed to maintain and improve your campus facilities.
