THE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETITIVE FACILITY SOLUTIONS 

WITH A FOCUS ON:

TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS

MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND MASTERPLANNED ENVIRONMENTS 

MANUFACTURING AND DISTRIBUTION

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

AVIATION AND AEROSPACE

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

BUSINESS/FINANCING OPTIONS

Achieved as a result of an integrated facility development methodology which addresses operational, organizational, building, equipment, and site requirements. Both capitalizing on existing strengths, and seeking areas for further improvement, while creating new facility solutions. 

This involves the definition of a competitive strategy as the basis for the definition of a facility program and project brief.

THE CHALLENGING WORLD ECONOMY, WITH ITS FOCUS ON COMPETITIVE SOLUTIONS, REQUIRES AN UNDERSTANDING OF OPERATIONAL, TECHNICAL AND BUSINESS ISSUES.

These utilize new concepts and techniques as part of a new model aimed at solutions that are both financially viable and economically justifiable.

This is relevant to the redevelopment and expansion of existing facilities, and master developments in addition to the creation of new ones.

Both the private and public sectors are therefore motivated to reinvent themselves, seeking to increase their overall productivity and cost effectiveness while improving their competitiveness.

This involves the evaluation of existing scenarios, while seeking new and imaginative operational, organizational, and facility alternatives as part of a new development model.

These need to be complemented by a sensitivity to the environment, seeking to reduce energy consumption, while making use of renewable energy sources as a sustainable solution.

To achieve these goals, use is made of all encompassing solutions, that address operational and behavioral issues, which build on existing strengths while seeking to create the most cost efficient built environment.

INNOVATION - THE NEXT GENERATION

The need to meet the challenges of globalization and the world economy motivate the trend to next generation solutions as part of a new model.

Traditional-legacy type solutions frequently need to be rethought as a result of the trends toward:

  • A MOVE FROM SILO TYPE TO INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS WHILE SEEKING TO GAIN THE RESULTING SYNERGIES.
  • INCREASED ASSET UTILIZATION INCLUDING EQUIPMENT, PERSONNEL, MATERIALS, BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT, CAPITAL
  • THE USE OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL SOLUTIONS IN THE UTILIZATION OF EQUIPMENT, LAND AND FACILITIES.
  • REDUCED INVENTORIES AND JUST IN TIME CONCEPTS BOTH IN MANUFACTURING AND THE PROVISION OF RESOURCES.
  • THE USE OF DIGITAL SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE INTERNET OF THINGS, WHILE UTILIZING HIGH SPEED BROADBAND SOLUTIONS.
