Facilities Assessment
An adequate and properly maintained facility improves the quality of life for its occupants. Existing facilities become overcrowded as organizations expand. Aging facilities become functionally obsolete and inefficient to operate. The overall quality and cost effectiveness of facilities needs improvement. As existing infrastructure ages, Presidents, CEOs, CFOs and facility managers of multi-site and multi-structure organizations need an effective method of evaluating the status of their organization's assets that will enable them to make effective management decisions.

Facilities assessment is a proactive approach to examining your facilities to determine what needs to be done to bring them up to current standards. Assessing the conditions and status of every aspect of a building provides an opportunity to identify deficiencies before they become major problems, to anticipate when building systems will require repair or replacement and to project and schedule maintenance of systems.

To help plan for and limit damage from any number of situations, JMOA will identify and assess the conditions and concerns in key areas of your facility. A certified code compliance officer, licensed architect or engineer will inspect and evaluate your facilities' architecture (roof, windows, etc.), code compliance, drainage, protection from fire, protection from water, HVAC, security, housekeeping and construction projects. The end product will be a fully automated, comprehensive assessment of the number, types and current use of spaces, space requirements in relation to the present and projected needs of the organization, and a prioritized list of the need for maintenance, repair, or reconstruction of existing facilities, including consideration of the obsolescence and retirement of certain facilities, and the provision of additional facilities.

Facilities assessment helps to preserve an organization's facilities and assets, improves the quality of life for a building's occupants and clients, and protects our environment.

Space Management
Real estate is any organization's second most expensive budget item — second only to people. Examining available space and facility information, comparing it to long-term space needs, and providing options for meeting objectives can improve the efficiency of an organization.

With JMOA's automated space management program, organizations can track detailed information about their building(s), floors, departments, office spaces and personnel; improve capacity planning; address specific space management issues including space utilization, forecasts of future space needs, and cost allocations; manage change visually and optimally; visually document the locations of employees, furniture and equipment, data and technology cabling, and other assets on scaled drawings.

To ensure complete and accurate information, JMOA will document the current utilization of your spaces through field investigations and surveying services. Existing plans will be verified for accuracy, corrections to reflect changes will be noted, and as-built drawings for those facilities that do not have existing plans will be prepared. Links to databases to attach photographs and information for all building and site plans will be provided.
Implementing a space management program gives organizations the ability to track all space-related data in a central repository and facilitates the planning and execution of moves, additions and changes easily and accurately.
