Institutional

Our institutional clients often need their facilities to perform excellently for a century or more. While their stewardship requires them to advocate for the long term in annual budget battles, they are forced to deal with growing backlogs of deferred maintenance and shrinking budgets. FEA has developed innovative approaches linking the Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers (APPA) strategic assessment and investment models and levels of service approach with our systematic approach to facility asset management.

Our mission with institutional clients is to help them make the case for adequate resources to extend the useful life of their facilities. We help facility managers:
 

• Clarify their institutions' facility needs,
• Articulate clear plans to satisfy the needs,
• Devise effective systems for preventive maintenance and efficient plant operations,
• Improve FM work processes and implement the right technology tools to support them,
• Accurately assess staffing requirements,
• Develop green and sustainable strategies,
• Deliver effective training to their staff, and
• Measure results credibly.

When these steps have been accomplished, we help facility managers prepare budgets and capital investment proposals that make sense to institutional leadership. Our measure of success is to fulfill visions for long-term excellence for their facilities.
