Facility Management Forecast – the need

Managers are challenged with volumes of data to process and analyze when evaluating multiple buildings or a portfolio of properties. Prior to FacilityForecast®, establishing accurate 20- to 30-year capital replacement and operating expense budgets took an enormous amount of time and was often a highly subjective process. Most find the process too time-consuming, unreliable, and thus, the long-term capital replacement budgeting process has not been used effectively. This has resulted in management relying on short-term budgets rather than complete cost information.

Current spreadsheet software and budgeting tools fall short of today’s need for an accurate facility management forecast of critical capital replacement and operating expenses. CFOs, property managers, facility engineers, investors, and owners all suffer from the time-consuming chore of creating these budgets and are under-equipped to do so.

The Solution: zumBrunnen, Inc. developed the FacilityForecast® Software System to provide accurate and trusted information in an easy-to-learn and use software application. This tool can be readily applied to all industries accountable for managing buildings and processes and systems.

This facility management forecast manages expense data for the single stand-alone facility or for complex properties such as campus-style facilities, or multiple-site real estate portfolios. Reports are designed for use at all levels of management – “from the boiler room to the board room.”
