Because if something catastrophic happens we need to ensure that our client and the asset is protected. In addition, we provide on-site facilities staff to manage engineering requirements, soft services, tenant support, capital expenditure and general asset management.” To give the company a competitive edge, CPS uses industry-leading systems and best-in- class software to provide fully-integrated web-based reporting and analytics that centralises information. Centralising information efficiently enables all stakeholders on a project (contractors, tenants, clients and staff) easy access and linkage into the same systems and the same information. “We believe this makes us a judicious property services company that actively initiates asset management decisions,” says Moodie. “Where other companies see difficulties, we look for solutions and tailor our services to clients’ requirements and needs. We – from acquisition to redevelopment, re- positioning, operations and disposal. More than merely maintaining an asset, CPS understands optimising the value of the asset. Donovan Moodie, Senior Manager –Assets, explains, “This achieves a value-add management perspective of each asset we manage. Our philosophy is to manage all assets as if they were owned by CPS.” CPS’s approach is to take total responsibility for the management and control of all facets of asset management. Moodie continues, “Everything goes hand in hand – it isn’t just facilities or just property management standing on its own. You need a whole suite of things working together to effectively manage an asset. Our services therefore include financial management, risk management, lease & tenancy management, and capital expenditure management. For example, we have a 24- hour help desk, and one of the most important aspects of our facilities management is our Senior Leadership Team
