Click here for a five-minute overview of our facilities life cycle services
MACTEC assists buyers, sellers, owners and managers
in dealing with the complexities associated with
real estate today. MACTEC’s facilities-related
services cover three primary areas:
• Environmental Services
• Facilities Operation and Maintenance
• New Development / Design and Construction Services
Facilities Operation
and Maintenance (O&M)
Working together on client-focused teams, MACTEC’s
engineers, architects and environmental professionals
specialize in evaluation, repair, renovations,
rehabilitation and maintenance of existing facilities.
Primary O&M services involve expertise related
to structural systems, mechanical and electrical
systems, plumbing, indoor air quality, asbestos
and lead-containing materials, construction materials,
building exteriors, roofing and waterproofing,
pavements, information management, and other technical
skills required for successful asset management.
Building Maintenance,
Renovation and Repair
MACTEC maintains one of the most skilled technical
staffs in the industry with hands-on experience
in building maintenance, repair and renovation
issues. For material failures or deterioration,
MACTEC isolates the cause of the failure, develops
a range of alternative solutions, and provides
comparative cost estimates and design details.
A significant feature of our approach is assessing
the relative strengths and weaknesses of building
systems, structures, and components before problems
arise and developing cost-effective plans for
maintaining, restoring, or preserving building
assets.
MACTEC assists building owners and managers in
developing plans that provide a long-term return
for an economical and technically sound maintenance
investment. Correctly done, it can mean the difference
between predictable expenditures and manageable
results on the one hand, and unexpected, potentially
catastrophic failures on the other, which can
cause unplanned interruptions and substantially
increased operating costs.
Maintenance Management
Regularly scheduled maintenance can help preserve
building assets and your bottom line. By focusing
on carefully devised preventive maintenance programs,
building owners and managers can significantly
reduce their costs and increase the performance
of critical systems. Using both calendar and predictive
models, MACTEC works with clients to prioritize
maintenance tasks and create a realistic and cost-effective
schedule for component replacements or system
enhancements. These value-added services can provide
greater energy conservation and cost savings through
the increased efficiencies of scheduled, cyclical
maintenance and repair on major components or
systems.
Vertex® Facility
Management Information Systems
MACTEC's engineers and information specialists
work closely with our clients to define needs
and develop viable approaches to integrating facility
management information. Facility Lifecycle Group (FLG), a division of
MACTEC, creates, implements and supports innovative
products and services that enable objective, consistent,
cost-effective best practices to support rational
decision-making for recapitalization planning.
FLG's solutions are based on software applications
and tools that support data management, analysis
and forecasting derived from advanced engineering
concepts.
With the engineering-based expertise and vast
experience built into Vertex, our clients are
able to manage multisite properties through a
comprehensive, precise approach that includes
the following attributes:
• Relevant facility data are centralized into
one database allowing immediate access to important
information.
• Vertex generates detailed reports documenting
asset characteristics, condition levels, remaining
useful service life, and required maintenance
to optimally operate and successfully manage facilities.
• Management is able to objectively analyze detailed
data regarding the organization’s major
facility cost components.
• Vertex provides management with comprehensive
knowledge of an organization’s asset base
and its condition, enabling proactive, fiscally
sound planning with respect to asset maintenance,
repair and replacement.
Emergency Response
When an unexpected event or natural disaster occurs,
MACTEC can provide immediate, on-site assistance.
Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks
in New York City, earthquakes in California, hurricanes
in Florida and the Carolinas, snowstorms and floods
in the Southeast, and a high-rise fire in Texas,
MACTEC successfully demonstrated a unique ability
to quickly mobilize large numbers of engineers,
architects, and other technical specialists to
respond to client needs. Our emergency response
management team understands what is required in
the wake of man-made and natural disasters, including
life safety issues, damage documentation and quantification,
repair design, implementation, and prioritization,
and reconstruction management.
MACTEC understands the role and procedures of
FEMA and other state and local government agencies
in these situations. We have successfully worked
with them to obtain the full reimbursement allowed
for damage to the client’s assets.
Litigation Support
MACTEC’s senior professionals often serve
as technical experts to support dispute resolution
and litigation efforts. Routinely involved in
investigative efforts to determine the cause of
building system and component failure for the
purposes of remedial repair or rehabilitation,
our senior staff provides a logical approach to
dispute resolution.
Environmental and Regulatory
Issues
Compliance with current building codes, reforms
like the Americans with Disabilities Act, and
the large number of environmental regulations
in effect present increasingly complex challenges
for our clients. Whether the issue is asbestos,
lead, indoor air quality, or other regulatory-driven
situations, property managers turn to MACTEC’s
extensive resources and expertise for advice and
technical assistance.
MACTEC provides building owners and managers
with assessments of current environmental risks,
methods for managing the costs of compliance or
remediation, and plans for minimizing future liability.
Knowledge is the best defense against the potential
economic or legal complications in today's regulatory
climate. We can offer you these experience-proven
MACTEC advantages:
• Expert assessment of indoor air quality
• Efficient hazardous materials remediation and/or
management
• Effective consultations or negotiations with
regulatory agencies when securing permits or responding
to environmental audits
Real Estate
MACTEC is uniquely qualified to provide assessment
services related to both environmental and engineering
issues through a single point of contact. With
extensive credentials in both disciplines, our
professionals help clients assess their risk of
regulatory and financial liability. Our experience
in conducting environmental site assessments and
property transfer condition surveys can help address
the risk of inheriting an unexpected environmental
or maintenance liability. Problems can be discovered
through due-diligence surveys, environmental risk
analysis, building component analysis, and repair
cost estimates.
New Development / Design
and Construction
MACTEC provides design and evaluation services
for new construction projects. Working together
with principal architects or engineers, MACTEC
provides a number of services including peer design
review, code analysis, testing, specifications
development or review, and quality assurance monitoring.
We also prepare plans and specifications for the
design of building and environmental repair and
remediation projects.
