When Poor Facility Management is Catastrophic to Your Business
Your facilities house expensive industrial equipment and machinery, from generators and compressors to tanks and centrifuges. If your building envelope assets fail you, the results of water intrusion or inadequate air, weather and thermal barriers will inevitably increase your ongoing operational, maintenance and repair costs for managing the plant.
Don’t let mismanaged or neglected building assets be your downfall! At Technical Assurance, we work with our manufacturing clients to proactively manage the life cycle of their building envelope assets. By investing in annual repairs and preventative maintenance, our approach will extend the time between capital renewals and drive actual cost savings to your facility spend plans.
Pivot Your Focus to Reduce Your Spend
We work with clients to help them view their buildings as a business investment. When our Fortune 500 manufacturing client first came to us, their run-to-failure model of managing their portfolio was going to cost them $220 million over the next 10 years. After working with them to financially analyze their building assets, we developed a management program that will save them nearly $20 million over the next 10 years. Similar results are achievable through a design-build or design-bid-build approach.

Streamlined Building System Management Technology
Manage building system inventory, condition assessments and ongoing system data within one central location— the ON-PNT® Enterprise Building System Management solution. When your facility portfolio spans several cities or states, having all facility data collected in one central location at the touch of a finger or the click of your mouse is invaluable.
- We start each partnership off with a condition assessment to establish a baseline.
- The collected data is then put into ON-PNT® along with historical data, deficiencies, leaks, as-built information and other relevant system data.
- The goal of the assessment is to establish a condition index baseline of exterior building systems in order to understand how to prioritize repair and replacement projects over the next one, three, five and 10 years.
- This understanding allows us to craft a life cycle management program that includes financial planning and goals, repair and capital projects, preventative maintenance and warranty management.

Client Spotlight: Packaging Corp of America
Packaging Corp of America (PCA) has grown rapidly in the last decade through acquisition and expansion. As a result, they have inherited a facility portfolio that required a national assessment program so that management could prioritize facility related repair and replacement needs. Through the assessment, our team was able to provide PCA with both site-specific and portfolio reports on their leased buildings to support them through ongoing lease negotiations with building owners.
During the assessment, our team identified a few critical roof replacements that needed immediate attention as well as some structural wall issues that posed life safety risk.
