REVIEW CORPORATE PLAN
Long-term leases of real estate represent a major commitment of resources. These decisions impact on the productivity of personnel, operating cost, and the company image.
To ensure the compatibility of your real estate meets with your requirements, we will work with you as may be necessary to identify the following:

  • Corporate Goals and Objectives
  • Assess the value and limitations of the current ownership position.
  • These items are the basis for all later real estate data analyses, plans and decisions.

REVIEW CURRENT FACILITIES
The best way to understand whether an organization should move, and if so where, is to
understand fully where it has been and why it is located at a particular location. Through discussions with the appropriate personnel, we will identify the positive and negative aspects of your current facilities, spatially, operationally and financially. Through facilities audits and leasehold audits of your current locations, we will begin planning your future space requirements.

FACILITIES AUDIT
Efficiency is the essential requirement of business today, yet some companies fail
to consider whether they are using their facilities efficiently. It's not simply a question of space reductions. More importantly, it deals with the improving of working relationships.

MARKET ANALYSIS
You should have at least two primary real estate goals:

  • Secure a facility which provides for your operating and distribution needs.
  • Negotiate the most advantageous lease, purchase or disposition.
