Facility Management
Build-Out Project Management
Not all build-out projects are created equal. Today's emerging building systems controls are increasingly focusing as much on IoT (Internet-of-Things) technologies that monitor occupancy/activity for lighting and HVAC efficiency, daylight harvesting to reduce energy costs, security and access control, and mobile IT infrastructure managing the myriad devices present in the current BYOT office environment. Coordinating all these installations with the AEC Teams, General Contractor, and related subcontractors can become a full-time job very quickly. MPOChicago has experience in managing this process on multiple scales that can take this burden off of your facilities management team, and still keep you engaged and informed throughout the process.
Space Planning and Move Management
Internal moves often require a great deal of "choreography" to minimize disruptions to business operations. We have the capabilities to work with your internal stakeholders in preparing different space plan options responding to collocation, adjacency, and functional requirements.
MPOChicago brings to the table experience on both the landlord and tenant side of these projects. Our objective is to reduce the "pain points" for all involved. We can coordinate with your team or provider, or we can work with you to identify the qualified and budget appropriate 3rd party solution.
Sourcing and Vendor/Contract Management
At MPOChicago, our goal is to bring you partners who recognize the value of your business and a commitment to meeting and exceeding both your expectations and negotiated SLAs. If we bring a vendor to you, we don't just walk-away after the contract is signed. Minimally, we will conduct quarterly business reviews with you and the vendor to ensure all expectations are being met, seek opportunities for greater cost savings, and challenge the vendor to enhance the value proposition of their services by fine-tuning their performance or presenting new offering suited to your business.
End-to-End Sourcing and Project Management
Have you seen more "dogs" and "ponies" than Barnum and Bailey, and enough pie-charts to make you gain weight? We are here to help. We can take your facilities project from developing a Scope of Work and technical specifications, preparing RFx documents, responding to RFIs, through final vendor selection.
Of course, we can go one-step further, and manage the project for you too!
At MPOChicago we have simple goals, best-in-class service, impactful results, and saving you time and dollars.
